Nanostructured Electrodes for Electrochemical Devices
Devices based on nanostructured materials have, in recent years, played an ever-increasing role in the fields of medicine, energy storage, and conversion. This enormous success is due to the fact that thanks to nanomaterials, the devices have better performance, are minituarizable, easily transportable, and even wearable. Of particular interest are the electrochemical devices based on nanostructured electrodes. The use of nanostructured materials is a key strategy adopted by several researchers since the electrochemical activity strongly depends on the electrode surface. The high specific surface area ensures a high degree of utilization of active material of the nanostructured electrodes. In particular, the use of regular arrangements of nanowires or nanotubes of different materials has proved to be a strategic choice to improve the performance of electrochemical sensors and biosensors, batteries, solar cells and electrolyzers.
