Abstract

High power energy storage devices, such as Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors, are critical for the development of zero-emission electric vehicles, large scale smart grid, energy efficient ships and locomotives, wearable devices and portable electronics. This review will focus on our progress with the developments of nanocomposite electrodes capable to improve both the energy and power storage characteristics of the state of the art devices. We review recent advancements in ultra-high capacity conversion-type anodes and cathodes for Li ion batteries as well as carbon-metal oxide and carbon-conductive polymer (nano)composite electrodes for supercapacitors. Various routes to overcome existing challenges will be discussed, including various solution deposition techniques, atomic layer deposition (ALD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and electro-deposition. Several designs and implementations of multi-functional electrodes will also be presented.
