Are nanostructured materials used in electrochemical energy conversion and storage?

In this review, the recent progress of nanostructured materials in electrochemical energy conversion and storage is reviewed. The advances in the energy materials for Li-ion, Li–S, and Li–O 2 batteries, supercapacitors and electrocatalysis (including oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER)) are involved.

What is the performance of electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices?

The performance of aforementioned electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices is intimately related to the properties of energy materials , , , . Limited by slow diffusion kinetics and few exposed active sites of bulk materials, the performance of routine batteries and capacitors cannot meet the demand of energy devices.

Can nanotechnology improve electrochemical energy storage devices?

We are confident that — and excited to see how — nanotechnology-enabled approaches will continue to stimulate research activities for improving electrochemical energy storage devices. Nature Nanotechnology will always be home for advances that have the ‘nano’ aspect as the core of the research study, at any TRL.

Do nanostructured nanomaterials have a fundamental understanding of energy chemistry?

However, the fundamental understanding of energy chemistry of energy conversion and storage on nanostructured energy materials is not mature yet. Since the flourish of nanomaterials and their hybrids, insights into the electrochemical mechanism and the transport phenomenon at interlayer are heavily lacking.

Can nanomaterials improve the performance of energy storage devices?

The development of nanomaterials and their related processing into electrodes and devices can improve the performance and/or development of the existing energy storage systems. We provide a perspective on recent progress in the application of nanomaterials in energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors and batteries.

Do nanostructured electrodes provide high unitization of active materials?

Consequently, nanostructured electrodes render high unitization of active materials in a working LIB. The energy density is determined by the specific capacity of electrode materials and working voltage of a full Li ion cell .
