Abstract

Nanostructured materials and nanotechnologies show great potential in improving the electrochemical performance of rechargeable batteries to meet the commercial requirements in terms of energy, power, service life, cost, and safety. In this section, we summarize the advantages and challenges of some emerging advanced rechargeable batteries, discuss where the battery technology is heading both in short-term and long-term, and give perspectives on the opportunities of nanostructures and nanomaterials in these technologies and how they can benefit electrochemical energy storage systems.
