Abstract
The world faces threats that the United Nations has classified into 17 categories with different objectives as solutions for each challenge that are enclosed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These actions involved the widespread use of science and technology as pathways to ensure their implementation. In this regard, sustainability science seeks the research community's contribution to addressing sustainable development challenges. Specifically, nanotechnology has been recognized as a key tool to provide disruptive and effective strategies to reach the SDGs. This review proposes the application of bimetallic nanoparticle substances capable of providing possible solutions to achieve target SDG 3: good health and well-being, SDG 6: clean water and sanitation, and SDG 12: responsible consumption and production. Furthermore, the term green nanotechnology is introduced in each section to exemplify how green synthesized bimetallic nanoparticles have been used to resolve each target SDG. This review also outlines the current scenario regarding the utilization of metallic nanomaterials in the market, together with the upscaling challenges and the lack of understanding of the long-term effects and hazards to the environment regarding bimetallic nanoparticles.
