Abstract

Energy materials play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of power generation and storage systems. In recent years, the integration of nanotechnology with energy materials has provided new pathways to significantly boost performance and sustainability. Nanotechnology offers a unique advantage due to the enhanced properties exhibited by materials at the nanoscale, such as improved conductivity, increased surface area, and better energy absorption. This paper explores the application of nanomaterials in energy systems, specifically focusing on solar cells, batteries, and fuel cells. By manipulating the properties of these materials at the nanoscale, it is possible to improve energy conversion, storage capacity, and overall device longevity. Furthermore, nanomaterials enable more efficient use of renewable energy sources, contributing to the reduction of environmental impact. The paper highlights various types of nanomaterials used in energy applications and discusses current advancements, challenges, and future directions for developing energy-efficient and sustainable power systems.
