The depletion of traditional energy resources as well as the desire to reduce high CO(2) emissions associated with energy production means that energy storage is now becoming more important than ever. New functional electrode materials are urgently needed for next-generation energy storage systems, such as supercapacitors or batteries, to meet the ever increasing demand for higher energy and power densities. Advances in nanotechnology are essential to meet those future challenges. It is critical to develop ways of synthesizing new nanomaterials with enhanced properties or combinations of properties to meet future challenges. In this Minireview we discuss several important recent studies in developing nanostructured pseudocapacitor electrodes, and summarize three major parameters that are the most important in determining the performance of electrode materials. A technique to optimize these parameters simultaneously and to achieve both high energy and power densities is also introduced.
传统能源的枯竭以及降低与能源生产相关的高 CO(2)排放的愿望意味着，储能现在变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。下一代储能系统（如超级电容器或电池）急需新型功能电极材料，以满足对更高能量和功率密度的不断增长的需求。纳米技术的进步对于应对这些未来的挑战至关重要。开发具有增强性能或组合性能的新型纳米材料的方法对于应对未来的挑战至关重要。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了开发纳米结构赝电容器电极的几项重要的最新研究，并总结了决定电极材料性能的三个最重要的参数。我们还介绍了一种同时优化这些参数并实现高能量和高功率密度的技术。
