Review article published on nano-architected materials in EES

Prof. Werner and collaborators published a review article in Small Science on nano-architected materials in electrochemical energy storage systems such as batteries and supercapacitors. The review focuses on nanostructure-performance relationships that are obtained with the help of block copolymer self-assembly to architect functional materials with tunable structural parameters such as pore size, material thickness, and dimensionality on the nanometer scale. We further identify gaps in nanomaterials research for battery electrodes and discuss the need for hierarchical materials to include macroscopic mass transfer in electrode design considerations.
