Nanoscale materials with different dimensions for advanced electrocatalysts

Recent decades, the scientific research focused development of sustainable alternative electrocatalytic technologies for efficient energy conversion is intense research field. Rational design of nanodimensional materials meets more attentions due to their promising and high energy conversion efficiency, unique electronic, chemical and physical properties. Herein, we provide an overview of nanodimensional materials design for future sustainable clean energy conversion and systematic framework for designing strategy for future sustainable fine chemicals and fuels. In this chapter, we systematically discuss the range of electrocatalysts, including zero-dimensional to three-dimensional electrocatalysts toward oxygen evolution reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, and various energy technologies such as lasers, light emitting diodes, and solar cells, and their advantages and practical challenges for long-term electrocatalytic application. The overall goal is to achieve a better understanding of developing nanodimensional materials for future sustainable energy.
