About this Research Topic
The scientific interest has increased in the investigation of the hybrid nanomaterial properties. As hybrid nanomaterials contain two or more different components, typically inorganic and organic components which are brought together by specific interactions, the result is the synergistic enhancement of their chemical and functional properties. These new enhanced properties have stirred the interest of both academy and industry towards energy, environment, and health applications. The nanocomposite and nanofibers materials can provide solutions in numerous applications, such as fuel cells, batteries, sensors and bio-sensors, building materials, gas separation and storage processes, catalytic reactions, and water treatment processes, to name a few.
Within this context, this Research Topic aims to compile relevant contributions exhibiting the potentialities of emerging nanomaterials with potential applications bilaterally in energy and the environment.
With the development of society, the global energy demand is increasing, fossil fuel consumption will cause serious damage to the ecological environment. Supercapacitors have been highlighted in the field of electrochemical applications because of their properties such as environmental friendliness, excellent cyclic performance, and high power. The selection of electrode material plays a decisive role in the performance of supercapacitor; therefore, the development of electrode materials with large specific surface area, high conductivity, high specific capacitance, and low resistance can increase enhancing its performance.
Furthermore, nanomaterials have attracted tremendous attention due to their unique morphological and structural properties that qualify them to be used in many areas, for example as effective adsorbents or heterogeneous photocatalysts in environmental protection.
Within this context, this Research Topic aims to compile relevant contributions exhibiting the potentialities of emerging hybrid nanomaterials with potential applications bilaterally in energy and the environment.
The goal of this Research topic is to attract academic and industrial researchers to further improve the properties of existing nanocomposite and nanofibers and propose new ideas for future applications and new technologies through continuous in-depth research on existing hybrid nanomaterials.
We welcome the submission of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
• Structure and characterisation of nanomaterials.
• Environmental pollutants
• Water and wastewater purification
• Supercapacitors and batteries
• Organic or inorganic contaminants
• Synthesis of functional nanomaterials
• Nanofibers and Nanomaterials applications
