摘　　要：Wood can be a suitable alternative to energy-intensive materials in various applications.Nev-ertheless,its susceptibility to weathering and decay has significantly hindered the broad adop-tion of the most commercially significant wood species.While current solutions do tackle certain challenges,they often come with disadvantages like high costs,environmental risks,and/or in-efficiencies.Nanotechnology-based methods can be employed to mitigate these weaknesses and create durable,sustainable wood materials.In this review,we delve into cutting-edge advance-ments in the development of biodeterioration-resistant wood through innovative nanotechnol-ogy approaches.These methods usually involve the application of nanomaterials,either pos-sessing biocidal properties or serving as carriers for biocides.We systematically describe these approaches and compare them to conventional wood modification methods.Additionally,this re-view provides a brief overview of the prevalent biodeteriorating organisms and their mechanisms of action,which notably impact the development and choice of a suitable strategy for wood mod-ification/treatment.Given the requirements of biodeteriorating organisms for growth and wood degradation,it is expected that the new nanotechnology-based approaches to enhance wood dura-bility may provide innovative broad-spectrum biocidal nanosystems.These systems can simulta-neously induce alterations in the physicochemical properties of wood,thereby constraining the availability of the growth requirements.These alterations can efficiently inhibit the biodeterio-ration process by decreasing water absorption,restricting access to the wood components,and reducing void spaces within the wood structure.Finally,this review highlights the new oppor-tunities,challenges,and perspectives of nanotechnology methods for biodeterioration-resistant wood,through which some techno-economic,environmental and safety aspects associated with these methods are addressed.
