Description

The emerging appliances and components of nanotechnology facilitate pioneering and cost-efficient strategies to meet the ever-growing energy demands. Employment of nanomaterials fetched innovative approaches for processing, storing, and exchange of energy owing to its nanosized and well-defined structure. This review presents an overview of the involvement of nanomaterials that made breakthroughs in the field of fuel cell and photovoltaic technologies. While the morphologies and unique dimensions of nanostructures offered novel electrolytes and high surface area for fuel cell catalysts; the probability of quick separation and collection of photogenerated charge carriers was enhanced in solar cells. This book chapter will focus on the recent research and developments for improving efficiency and lower device fabrication cost in nano-enabled fuel and solar cells. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
