Heterogeneously Functionalized Electrode Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage Processes

Heterogeneous based functionalized nanocomposite materials have attracted considerable attention in both energy storage and conversion process, due to their fast electron transfer process and their ling-life cycles. Herein, the review briefly discussed different kinds of techniques, which are used for the fabrication of carbon based nanocomposites like sol-gel, hydrothermal (HT), in situ polymerization and electrochemical methods, etc In particularly, functionalized carbon decorated nanocomposites have been focused on the designing and development of rational candidate for future energy technologies. Especially, the highlighted nanocomposites have become more attention in the area of energy technologies mainly caused by their larger electrode surface area, high mechanical strength, excellent electrochemical properties, and rapid electrochemical redox behaviour. Considerable advancements in the combinations of nanoscale based composite devices have the platforms to develop new energy storage technology to fulfill the global energy demands. Finally, it summarizes the recent advantages of carbon supported composite, which significantly enhanced their electrochemical energy storage devices properties like high capacitance and boosted specific capacitive values.
