Electrocatalysis: Application of Nanocomposite Materials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Methods for Electrocatalysis

  • 1676 Accesses

Abstract

In the last few years, much attention has been given to the design and fabricate efficient electrocatalysts for different applications in energy storage devices, electroanlytical sensors and organic synthesis. Nanocomposite materials have arisen as some of the most proficient electrocatalysts because of their exceptional physico-chemical and electronic properties. We focus our significant importance on different construction approaches for synthesis and applications of nanocomposites and their influence on inherent electronic and catalytic properties. Lastly, we discuss the applications and future prospects leading to develop advanced nanocomposites for efficient electrocatalysis.
