Both natural and engineered oxide nanomaterials play important roles in environmental processes. In the case of engineered nanomaterials, the surface properties can be tailored for a number of different environmental applications including deNOx catalysis and carbon dioxide removal and conversion. For naturally occurring oxide nanomaterials, e.g. iron oxides, the size dependent properties and surface chemistry will impact biogeochemical cycles. In this talk, some specific examples of the size-dependent properties and surface chemistry of both natural and engineered metal oxide nanomaterials (e.g. titanium dioxide and iron oxide) in environmental processes will be discussed.
