Nanomaterials are increasingly widespread across modern industry, yet scaling up their production from laboratory concept to commercial scale remains difficult. Industrial manufacturing encounters bottlenecks across design, implementation, and scaling processes. Key impediments include poor reproducibility, safety concerns, and environmental impacts that hinder large-scale adoption. To address these limitations, various synthetic strategies and post-treatment modification techniques are being developed to improve nanomaterial performance and process reliability. Recent progress in manufacturing demonstrates how tailored synthesis methods can be adapted for higher production volumes, with specific attention directed towards the practical application of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanomaterials. Resolving these operational and environmental challenges is vital to enabling the sustainable, large-scale deployment of nanotechnologies across future industrial operations.
Nanotechnology offers transformative potential across sectors, but laboratory successes do not automatically translate to commercial products. Identifying the technical barriers in manufacturing, such as safety risks, environmental impacts, and inconsistent quality, helps researchers and manufacturers build more reliable, sustainable methods for mass-producing advanced materials like molybdenum disulfide.
The work addresses industrial chemical and materials manufacturers looking to scale nanomaterial production, focusing on applications involving MoS2 nanomaterials. The abstract describes an early-stage to intermediate technical review of manufacturing challenges rather than a finished commercial product, indicating that scalable, reproducible, and environmentally benign fabrication routes are still under active development to support market transition.

Nanomaterials are present everywhere today and represent the new industrial revolution. Depending on the application, there are many ways to synthesize nanomaterials with different properties. The industrial production of nanomaterials faces various challenges at different stages, going from conception and design to implementation and scaling-up of the production process, which can limit the growth of practical application at a large-scale scope, such as due to the lack of reproducibility, safety, and environmental impact. Here, we discuss current advances achieved for nanomaterial production at a large scale, encompassing a range of synthetic strategies and post-treatment modifications used to enhance the nanomaterials’ performance. A particular interest is devoted to highlighting the progress of MoS2 nanomaterials’ application. Thus, overcoming those discussed challenges becomes a new prospect for the future perspectives of industrial nanomaterials and nanotechnologies.
