摘要： Recent studies of the control of the shape and size of nanomaterials have enabled researchers to explore the development of energy storage and conversion applications in unprecedented detail. Nanomaterials can be exploited into green energy strategies if their surface architectures can be controlled by various treatment processes. Their remarkable behaviors arise in part from their small size, large surface area, and quantum con?nement. Nanomaterial science has various implications for environmental science and sustainability. Physical and chemical routes for controlling morphologies, crystal structures, and physical and chemical properties can be exploited to improve performance, expand the function, and extend lifetime of devices with energy storage and conversion applications. Such devices that involve nanomaterials include storage and conversion devices (energy storage, hydrogen generation, water-splitting and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC)), optical and electronic devices (semiconductors, photoelectrocatalytic, and waveguides), and environmental devices (sensors and adsorption/separation), among others. Such applications typically rely on emerging electrode designs, which support the realization of energy storage and conversion devices, whose manufacture can be done more ef?ciently by nanotechnology. The unique features of nanomaterials have been in the development of energy storage and conversion proved to be useful.
