Green Sustainable Nanocomposites for Energy Storage Devices

Current advanced energy technologies are continuously developing and searching the novel sustainable nanomaterials. Green nanocomposites combine exclusive properties of sustainable polymers, nanoparticles, and nanomaterials. Green or environmental nanomaterials have advantages of inexpensiveness, light weightiness, environmentally friendliness, and competence for energy related technical applications. Ecological, biodegradable, and sustainable nanocomposites have been applied in number of energy devices including the fuel cells, batteries, light-emitting diodes, etc. Among all energy storage devices, supercapacitors have been acknowledged as the record competent charge and energy-storing systems. Therefore, the main focus of this chapter is to highlight the energy storage application of the green nanocomposites particularly focusing the supercapacitors. This episode initially covers the fundamentals of green sustainable nanocomposites. Subsequently, the energy storage connected solicitations of the eco–nanocomposites have been stated. Consequently, the developments of the multi-functional high-performance supercapacitors based on the ecological nanocomposites have been debated. Additionally, the challenges and forthcoming forecasts of the sustainable nanocomposites toward energy storage devices were deliberated.
