This paper explores the integration of plant-derived materials with nanosensor technology for environmental monitoring. It highlights the role of plant-based coatings in offering sustainable solutions and improving nanosensor sensitivity and selectivity for detecting pollutants. Researchers use the diverse secondary metabolites found in plants to develop eco-friendly synthesis methods, enhancing nanosensor performance while reducing environmental impact. These coatings also increase biocompatibility and stability, aligning with sustainable development goals. Interdisciplinary collaborations are refining synthesis processes and coating properties to meet the high demands of environmental monitoring. Despite challenges in standardization and scalability, initial findings show the potential of plant-based nanosensors to transform environmental monitoring. The paper calls for collaboration among researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to bridge the gap between laboratory innovations and real-world applications. Coordinated efforts could make plant-based nanosensors a key tool for more effective and sustainable environmental monitoring.
