ABSTRACT
An innovation in the kind of energy supply is crucial and imminent,
given the finite resources and the environmental impact on climate
change. Optimizing the current energy supply and energy demand
patterns or developing new conventional and renewable energy
technologies to meet the ever-increasing global demand for energy
requires groundbreaking advances in different research areas,
for example, to increase energy efficiency and adoption rate of
renewable energy in themarket. Novel breakthroughs in the cutting-
edge field of nanotechnology, as a cross-sectional technology, show
potential to be applied across the whole value chain of the energy
sector (energy sources, energy conversion, energy distribution,
energy storage and energy usage).
