Nanomaterials have emerged as pivotal components in the development of next-generation energy technologies, particularly in the realm of batteries and energy materials. With their unique thermal, mechanical, optical, and electrical properties, inorganic nanomaterials have garnered significant attention for various energy applications.
In electrical energy storage science, “nano” is big and getting bigger. One indicator of this increasing importance is the rapidly growing number of manuscripts received and papers published by ACS Nano in the general area of energy, a category dominated by electrical energy storage.
Since inorganic nanomaterials generally exhibit unique properties including chemical stability, high surface area, and thermal and electrical conductivity , they are considered promising for the energy applications mentioned herein.
The electrochemical energy storage devices that currently stand out the most are lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Furthermore, the demand on higher performance devices and more efficient technologies has led to growing attention in advanced functional nanosized materials.
In several energy-related applications, core–shell nanomaterials exhibit notable material benefits over a single material. Unfortunately, it remains challenging to develop superior core–shell hollow nanomaterials that meet all the needs of energy applications.
