Abstract

Energy generation from conventional fossil fuels has been identified as the main culprit of environmental quality degradation and environmental pollution. In order to address these issues, nanotechnology plays an essential role in revolutionizing the device applications for energy conversion and storage, environmental monitoring as well as green engineering of environmental friendly materials. Fiber materials like carbon nanotubes(CNTs) and their hybrid nanocomposites have received immense research attention for their potential applications in various fields due to their unique structural, electronic and mechanical properties. In this chapter, the contribution of CNTs is addressed in terms of energy generation, conversion and storage such as in supercapacitors, and renewable energy technologies. Integration of carbon nanotubes in solar cells has increased the energy conversion efficiency of these energy conversion applications, which serve as the future sustainable energy sources. Based on the literature studied, CNTs pose a great potential as a promising material for application in various environmental fields.
