Abstract

Mechanochemistry involves the physicochemical transformation of materials or substances induced by external mechanical energy or forces. In recent years, the application of mechanochemistry as a green synthetic method for the preparation or production of new functional materials has gained significant interest by many researchers. This paper reviewed the relationship between mechanochemistry and the principles of green chemistry, mechanochemistry as green technology, mechanochemical reactions, peculiarities of mechanochemical processes, applications, and the challenges of mechanochemistry. However, based on the review, with improved or advanced technologies, it is strongly believed that mechanochemistry is probably going to be one of the most efficient way to improve greenness in chemical industries and beyond.
