Abstract

This chapter looks at the recent research trends and future development of low-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials with particular focus on various energy conversion and storage systems. Nanostructured materials for energy devices will markedly increase, as will insights for our everyday life in the near future. In particular, multifunctional carbon nanomaterials have attracted tremendous attention in solar cells, fuel cells, flow batteries, solid-state batteries, supercapacitors, electrochemical capacitors, and compressed air energy storage. The efficiency of energy systems strongly depends on a variety of nanostructures with energy storage/conversion capacities. One of the key challenges is the development of mesoporous and/or nanoporous carbon nanomaterials with unique hierarchal structure for energy applications. This chapter addresses this challenge and gap between the topical technologies in this exciting field.
