TL;DR: In this paper, a review article summarizes the recent research progress on the synthesis of nanostructured carbon and its application in energy storage and conversion, and the common challenges in developing simple, scalable, and environmentally friendly synthetic and manufacturing processes, in controlling the nanoscale and high level structures and functions, and in integrating such materials with suitable device architectures are reviewed.

TL;DR: The limitations and challenges of nanostructured materials while being used for solar cells, lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen storage systems have also been addressed in this review.

TL;DR: Amorphous and nanocrystalline vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) were prepared through a combination of sol-gel processing paired with electrochemical deposition and investigated as cathodes for sodium-ion batteries.

TL;DR: In this article, Nitrogen is added to porous carbon, in both the bulk network as heteroatoms and coated on the surface of the pores, to increase the capacitance of electrodes for supercapacitor applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, bimetallic iron-nickel nanoparticles were synthesized using a multistep procedure in water under ambient conditions, and they showed enhanced catalytic activity for both OER and methanol oxidation under alkaline conditions.
