Preface
Thereisagreaterneedtosearchforalternativesourcesofenergyduetothelimited
availabilityoffossilfuels.Theuseofbiofuelsisthecommonalternativeinfrontof
thewholeworld,anditsuseissignificantlyincreasedinmanycountries.Generally,
biodieselisusedasafuelfordieselenginesduetoitstechnical,environmental,and
strategic advantages. Apart from these, biodiesel is technically competitive with
conventional,petroleum-deriveddieselfuelandrequiresvirtuallynochangesinthe
fueldistributioninfrastructure.Otheradvantagesofbiodieselascomparedtopetro-
diesel include reduction of most exhaust emissions, biodegradability, higher flash
point, inherence, and the fact that it is of domestic origin. However, ethanol is
mostlyusedforOttocycleenginesasanalternativetogasoline.
Nanotechnology is one of the most important research areas in the twenty-first
century. The potential applications of nanobiotechnology in the production of
sustainable bioenergy and biosensorshave encouraged researchers in recent years
to investigate new novel nanoscaffolds to build robust nanobiocatalytic systems.
Differentkindsofnanomaterialshavebeendevelopedaspertheneedforapplica-
tionpurpose.
Variousmetal nanomaterialsare found to have direct or indirect applicationin
theproductionofbiofuels.Amongthese,nanoparticle-mediatedenzymehydrolysis
oflignocellulosicresiduesfortheproductionofethanolisinpractice.Magneticand
metal oxide nanoparticles such as TiO , ZnO, SnO , etc. are commonly used

matrices for enzyme immobilization. Magnetic nanoparticles are found to have
potential uses in the field of biofuel and bioenergy, i.e., in the production of
bioethanol from lignocellulosic materials by immobilization of enzymes like cel-
lulasesandhemicellulasesbyphysicaladsorption,covalentbinding,cross-linking,
orspecificligandspacers.Suchnanomaterialsaregenerallycalledasnanocatalysts,
which are fabricated by immobilizing enzymes with functional nanomaterials as
enzymecarriers.
