Versatile 1-D Nanostructures for Green Energy Conversion …

5 Conclusion
The book takes you through the details about the recent development of various 1-D
nanostructures that have potential use in PSC and ESS. One-dimensional nanostructures can be architectured into hierarchical and hybrid nanostructures with different
additional materials to improve the light absorbance and charge storage capacity.
The latest progress in synthesis techniques and versatile nature of 1-D nanomaterials
potentially gave us new opportunities for current and future research for material
scientists. The future progress has also opened the doors for understanding how
composition, morphology and size along with the chemical conditions affect the
efficiency of such nanostructures. From the literature survey on efficiencies of different 1-D nanomaterials, we come to the conclusion that still much work has to be
done to enhance the efficiency and to develop optimized energy storage devices. The
final goal is to achieve faster charging, higher energy storage capacity and higher
cyclic stability of such materials. The other challenges include the production cost,
synthesis scale, environmental issues and safety problems associated with it. Also,
we require more knowledge to understand about the physical and chemical properties
of 1-D nanostructures to exploit their properties for magnetic, optical and electricbased applications. In addition to this, the development of 1-D-based nanomaterials
will help us to improve our older technologies paving way for further research that
will benefit industries as well as society.
