Nanotechnology-Driven Innovations for Sustainable Energy Conversion and Storage

Abstract

The global demand for sustainable and efficient energy solutions has propelled the advancement of nanotechnology in energy systems. Nanomaterials—due to their high surface area, tunable electronic properties, and enhanced reactivity—have emerged as key enablers for next-generation energy conversion and storage technologies. This paper explores the role of nanostructured materials such as quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and MXenes in improving the performance of solar cells, fuel cells, supercapacitors, and lithium-ion batteries. Emphasis is placed on recent breakthroughs in nanoscale engineering that have significantly boosted energy efficiency, durability, and charge transport mechanisms. The paper also discusses the challenges associated with large-scale implementation and the environmental impact of nanomaterials. These insights demonstrate that nanotechnology holds great promise in addressing critical energy challenges through multifunctional and scalable solutions.
