Nanostructured Transition Metal Derivatives for Electrochemical Energy Storage Applications

Abstract

Global energy demand remains a concern, and air quality is a significant issue for future energy solutions. A renewable energy technology that can meet future needs with clean, eco-friendly technologies. Solar and wind sources supply energy as renewable sources with too much or too little power due to their intermittent nature. Electrochemical energy storage (EES) technologies are the most reliable way to deal with intermittent power generation. Among all EES systems, lithium-ion batteries (LIB) and supercapacitors (SCs) are the most mature, with a few limitations indicating that there is still room for research. The performance of both lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors is significantly influenced by the electrode materials used. Flexible supercapacitors are currently popular due to their versatile applications in various fields like wearables and medical electronics. The aim of the present work entails the synthesis of electrode materials for both batteries and supercapacitors and the formulation of solid-state electrolytes with extended potential windows, for flexible supercapacitor fabrication newline
