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.

How can battery storage help reduce energy costs?

Simultaneously, policies designed to build market growth and innovation in battery storage may complement cost reductions across a suite of clean energy technologies. Further integration of R&D and deployment of new storage technologies paves a clear route toward cost-effective low-carbon electricity.

Can graphene-based materials be used for energy storage?

There is enormous interest in the use of graphene-based materials for energy storage. Graphene-based materials have great potential for application in supercapacitors owing to their unique two-dimensional structure and inherent physical properties, such as excellent electrical conductivity and large specific surface area.

Why do we need high-energy density energy storage materials?

From mobile devices to the power grid, the needs for high-energy density or high-power density energy storage materials continue to grow. Materials that have at least one dimension on the nanometer scale offer opportunities for enhanced energy storage, although there are also challenges relating to, for example, stability and manufacturing.

What is reversible storage and release of electricity?

Reversible storage and release of electricity is an essential technology, driven by the needs of portable consumer electronics and medical devices, electric vehicles, and electric grids, as well as the emerging Internet of Things and wearable technologies.

Which nanomaterials are used in energy storage?

Although the number of studies of various phenomena related to the performance of nanomaterials in energy storage is increasing year by year, only a few of them—such as graphene sheets, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon black, and silicon nanoparticles—are currently used in commercial devices, primarily as additives (18).
