Abstract
. Silica nanoparticles are potential adsorbents for pollutants. We present herein an overview of the different types of silica nanoparticles going from the definitions to properties, synthetic approaches and the mention of potential applications. We focus mainly on the recent advances in the adsorption of different target substances (metal ions, dyes and other organics).
