The quest for high-performance energy storage devices is paramount as global energy demand rises, driven by technological advancements and the transition to renewable energy. Nanomaterials have emerged as key components in enhancing the performance of energy storage devices, particularly supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This paper explores the innovations in nanomaterial-based supercapacitors and LIBs, highlighting their potential to address challenges such as energy density, charge/discharge rate, and longevity. Key nanomaterials, including carbon-based materials, metal oxides, and conductive polymers, are discussed in terms of their impact on energy storage efficiency, their role in improving battery performance, and future trends for these technologies in energy storage applications.
