sustainable nanostructures for energy production and storage

Abstract

Low-cost, Earth abundant and efficient materials are needed for energy transition. The synthesis of nanostructured and promising materials needs to be developed for energy production and storage application, as green hydrogen production via water (photo electrolysis), supercapacitor, hydrogen storage. Transition metal oxide produced by chemical bath deposition, hydrothermal, laser ablation or irradiation give enormous advantages for these application, still microscopic phenomenda occurring at the solid/liquid interface at the nanoscale requires detailed investigation and modeling.
