The integration of nanomaterials into concrete has emerged as a transformative strategy to enhance mechanical properties, durability, and environmental resilience. This paper provides a comprehensive systematic review of the impacts of various nanomaterials—including nanosilica, nano-alumina, nano-metakaolin, nanoclay, calcium carbonate, and carbon-based nanomaterials—on concrete performance. An analysis of literature from 2015 to 2026 reveals that these additives significantly improve both normal and lightweight concrete by accelerating hydration, promoting the formation of Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate (C-S-H) gels, reducing porosity, and refining the Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ). Quantitative findings suggest that incorporating these materials can enhance compressive strength by 12–50%, flexural strength by 2–40%, and tensile strength by 16–55%, contingent upon dispersion quality and dosage. Comparative assessment indicates that while nanosilica maintains a broad consensus for optimizing compressive strength and permeability, carbon-based nanomaterials—such as graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes—are superior in improving tensile/flexural performance and micro-crack arrest. Despite these technological strides, the widespread industrial application of nanoconcrete remains hindered by critical challenges, including uniform dispersion, particle agglomeration, high sensitivity to optimal dosage, economic viability, and a lack of long-term field validation. This study synthesizes the current state-of-the-art, identifying key potential capabilities while emphasizing the necessity for further research to bridge the gap between laboratory success and practical, sustainable construction implementation.
