description Nanomaterials like silver, iron, ceramic, graphene carbon nanotubes, etc. These are used to develop and create multifunctional materials to fight the corona virus. This work focuses on analyzing and discussing the developments of Nano-materials and their effectiveness in fighting and preventing the spread of the corona virus. The paper also analyses the use of Nano-materials in the development of vaccines and anti-viral drugs. However, the use of carbon-based materials like carbon dots and other forms of carbon has not only helped in increasing the protection levels in human life but also provided greater security and freedom for people to carry out day-to-day activities without any fear of being infected by the virus. The application of graphene-based materials for making unique face masks and germ trap technologies is presented. Nano-compounds blended with hand sanitizers have played an active role in the control of coronavirus along with soap-based liquids that are used for handwashing. Some of the Nano-materials like gold nanoparticles are extensively used in the making of detection devices like RT-PCR, etc. The use of Nano-polymer coatings has created a safe environment for users by preventing the spread of coronavirus through surfaces. Different coating methods used for the application of nanomaterials are explained with suitable technical interpretations The anti-viral efficiency of different coatings is also discussed through surfaces. Nano-materials and contributions from the synthetic biology area have helped to develop vaccines and anti-viral drugs which are presently used to cure and prevent the spread of coronavirus infected patients. The method followed in analyzing the Nano-materials and their applications mainly focused on tracing the development and applications of Nano-materials. This analysis proves and shows that Nano-materials are playing a vital role in fighting the corona virus.
