Carbon Nanomaterials for Energy Storage

Abstract

With various environmental issues and a rapidly changing global climate, people have a strong desire for sustainability. In recent decades, a great deal of state-of-the-art research has been carried out to achieve converting and sustainably storing energy. However, alternative materials and advanced manufacturing techniques remain major obstacles to the commercialization of energy conversion and storage systems. The development of nanostructures and device architectures is also important for storing energy in planar form. In today's society, energy conversion and storage are essential to meet the growing energy demand. Energy sustainability, energy conversion, energy storage, environmental protection, and greenhouse gas reduction all rely on electrochemical and chemical energy storage technologies. Developing innovative materials for energy conversion and energy storage applications is critical to meeting today's energy challenges. Novel materials need to be developed that can improve energy conversion and storage.
