Engineering Nanomaterials and Interfaces in Energy Conversion and Storage

Nanostructured materials possess unique physical properties that are not found in their bulk counterparts, and some properties can be tailored by change the characteristic dimension of the nanomaterials. Devices and systems based on appropriately designed and fabricated nanostructures and nanomaterials can demonstrate remarkably enhanced performances. The large specific surface area and short diffusion distance can surely enhance the interface and transport kinetics, while the surface energy and defects will impact the phase transition and reaction thermodynamics. However, it is often overlooked that nanostructured materials can also introduce detrimental impacts on physical properties and device performances. In this presentation, I will use three examples to illustrate how energy conversion and storage efficiency can be significantly improved through careful design and engineering of materials on the nanometer and micrometer scales and through surface chemistry modification. The first example is hierarchically structured photoanodes for dye-sensitized solar cells and quantum dot sensitized solar cells, in which the controlled micro-sized aggregation of nanocrystallites resulted in light scattering within photoelectrodes. While a simple size reduction of nanocrystals may not lead to higher power conversion efficiency. The second example is nanostructured electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. Nanostructured electrodes have demonstrated specific energy and specific power improvements with excellent cyclic stability. Further enhancement in energy density can be achieved through introduction of defects and modification of surface chemistry. The third example is the manipulation and control of nanostructures and surface chemistry of porous carbon for supercapacitors.
