Now a day, our society faces a serious electricity crisis due to increasing human population. Energy consumption begins from small-scale electronic devices to high power eating electric vehicles. To provide power on demand, researchers focus on alternative renewable power sources such as, as photo voltaic cells, gasoline cells, secondary batteries and supercapacitors are current global issue. The strength energy conversion and storage technologies such as solar cells, fuel cells, secondary batteries and supercapacitors are current global issue. The energy conversion and storage performance of those applied science rely on fabrics homes of their electrode, electrolyte, and other system components. The asepcts of nanostructuring machine lead to more desirable effectivity in terms of robustness and reliability of the energy conversion and storage structures [1].
Nanotechnology is referred to as the science of nanoscale which is objects that range in nanometers in size. Nanotechnology can be described as the use of nanomaterials for human benefit. Nanomaterials have unique properties due to their physical and chemical characteristics at the nanoscale (10 -9 nm) [2]. Nanotechnology can be the feasible solution to the problems which are associated to humans having to do with the vital want and wishes for sustainable living. The vital needs of humans are food, water, energy, clothes, shelter, health and clean surrounding conditions. The needs for lavish life include understanding and achieving computerization in each and every field such as space travel, increasing life expectancy [3]. Nanotechnology is viewed as a transformative science that has the potential to stimulate scientific innovation while greatly benefiting society. Nanotechnology is applicable to the development of new materials and units in many fields that reveal nanostructuredependent houses [4].

Nanomaterial and Nanoparticle
Nanomaterial is a fabric with any exterior dimension in the nanoscale or having inside shape or floor structure at the nanoscale, which ought to show off novel characteristics compared to the equal fabric barring nanoscale elements [5,6].
Nanomaterials can be classified into organics and inorganics, which have been concluded from. Organic nanomaterials consist of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, single-walled carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, graphite and nanofibers. Most of the organic nanomaterials are carbon based nanomaterials [7]. Nanoparticle is a particle that has all its three dimensions on the order of 100 nm or less, and may also be referred as nano-object [3].
Nanoparticles with sizes under 20 nm are these for which the bodily houses may additionally vary greater considerably in comparison withthe conventional measurement materials.

Increasing energy needs coupledwith growing materials shortage has inspire the search for new materials for energy science development. Nanomaterials are a great class of materials to power this innovation due to their emergent properties at the nanoscale [8]. The use of nanomaterials in energy conversion and storage represents an opportunity to improve the performance, density and ease of transportation in renewable sources [9]. Recently, the role of nanostructured substances in addressing the challenges in energy and natural sources has attracted extensive attention. In particular, oriented nanostructures exhibit promising properties for strength harvesting, conversion, and storage [10]. One of the most interesting and most flexible renewable energy technologies is the direct conversion of sunlight into electric powered power: the photovoltaic effect. Carbon NMs, together with C60 fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene have been studied as extraordinarily environment friendly electron acceptors in polymer and quantum dot solar cells. Relatively new, dye sensitized photo voltaic cells are of brilliant promise. In these devices, a nanocrystalline mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) film, with a monolayer of the charge switch dye attached to its surface, is pasted on a obvious conductive substrate.

Concerning rechargeable lithium batteries, the energy densities and the performances of these gadgets mostly rely on the bodily and chemical houses of the electrode material. In this regard, the decreased dimensions and high floor vicinity of NMs expand the charge of electron transport and the electrode-electrolyte contact, respectively, whilst the nano-structure itself affords facile pressure leisure and resistance to fracture. For anode applications, CNTs, a series of graphene-based nanostructures and silicon nanowires have been studied as promising host-high capacity materials and conductive additives [11].

Batteries shop electrical electricity in the shape of chemical energy. All batteries work on the same principle: batteries are made up of two electrodes linked to a circuit. The "positive electrode" (cathode) is the electrode that takes up electrons when the battery is connected to a load. The "negative electrode" (anode) is the electrode that offers off electrons when in operation. A chemical response on the anode creates electrons whilst the chemical response on the cathode uses electrons. The reactions create an electrical current. A battery is recharged via reversing the electrical circuit in which an externally applied charge forces the electrons in the contrary direction. Batteries today are understood to be both essential as properly as rechargeable secondary cells. A secondary phone is additionally referred to as an accumulator. "Rechargeable battery" or "secondary battery" is extra regularly used in vicinity of accumulator. Due to the chemical reactions that take vicinity at some point of the charge-discharge cycles, structural modifications take place in the electrode materials of the battery, limiting the range of recharge cycles [12].
A capacitor, particularly the electrolytic capacitor, is an electrical component in which the electrolyte serves as the cathode and for this reason the second electrode. The capacitor stores electrical strength in an electrical discipline between the capacitor plates.
Capacitors can be charged and discharged extra than several million times except any sizeable trade in the materials. The various kind of energy storage will be more closely examined: 1) Lithium-ion battery 2) Lithium-air battery / Sodium-air battery 3) Lithium-sulphur battery / Sodium-sulphur battery 4) Printed battery 5) Supercapacitor 6) Nanocapacitor 7) Metal hydrid storage
