The drawbacks of traditional electric vehicles, such as long charging times and large battery sizes, can be mitigated through the incorporation of nanocomposite materials in lithium-ion batteries. Nanomaterials, with their unique physical and chemical properties, hold the key to revolutionizing battery technology.
For the extended lifetime of the batteries in addition to high energy and power, the electrode and its components are often engineered into composites that contain a variety of nanoparticles and pores.

Nanomaterials, with their unique physical and chemical properties, hold the key to revolutionizing battery technology. These materials, whether spontaneously formed, synthesized, or engineered for specific tasks, offer increased performance and storage capacity while reducing the overall size of batteries.
Nanomaterials play a crucial role in electrolytes by primarily improving the mass transport essential for the operation of lithium-ion batteries. The separator plays a crucial role in lithium-ion batteries by effectively segregating the anode and cathode electrodes.
Liquid crystalline nanocolloids (LCNCs), which are nanostructured composites comprising nanoparticles (NPs) and a liquid crystal (LC) host, have attracted a great deal of attention because of their promising new fundamental physical behaviors and functional properties.

Great attention to cost‐effective high‐efficiency solar power conversion of trihalide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been hovering at high levels in the recent 5 years. Among PSC devices, admittedly, TiO2 is the most widely used electron transport layer (ETL); however, its low mobility which is even less than that of CH3NH3PbI3 makes it not an ideal material.
