Abstract

In recent years, carbon-based nanostructured materials have emerged as promising candidates for addressing the challenges associated with increasing energy demand and environmental degradation. These materials exhibit exceptional properties such as enhanced electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and thermal stability, making them attractive for various applications in energy harvesting and environmental remediation. Carbon-based nanostructured materials have garnered significant attention from the scientific community due to their superior electrical, mechanical, and electronic/optoelectronic properties. In this chapter, we present a systematic overview of the advancements in carbon-based nanostructured materials for environmental and energy harvesting applications. Furthermore, we discuss their practical applications in environmental remediation and energy technologies. Specific focus is given to their roles in supercapacitors, solar cells, and batteries.
