The revolutionary field of utilizing conventional energy resources requires efficient Energy conversion and storage system. In the light of which various high energy density materials have been developed. The energy storage and conversion system has turned over a new page in its development by adopting evolving design and manufacturing techniques of new materials. The design, synthesis, self-assembly and functionalization of carbon based nanomaterial like graphene, fullerene, CNT show promising energy storage capacities .These high energy density materials can easily replace the Platinum catalyst which is economically costly and become unstable in the long run, this in turn reduces the fuel cell cost. The next generation materials with self- healing capability, Energy and power density, rate capability, and cycling life of batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors can be engineered by altering the structure, composition, morphology, and architecture of the electrode and electrolyte materials. However, quantifying and controlling the processing-structure-property relationships for these materials is extremely challenging. Nano electrochemistry by applying its interdisciplinary in various fields like electronics, biology and energy can conceive new devices that can serve as sensors, actuators, Nano electronics, exploring its optical, magnetic and electronic properties. In addition to this they are used in energy storage systems as the Nano composite are seen to be of high power density. The electrical behaviour of evenly colloidal nanoparticles in a homogenous solution depends on the surface charges, the presence of ions, surfactants at the Nano-interface studied broadly as Colloidal Chemistry. Nanotechnology offers various host systems for the delivery of drug molecule at the target sites which are electro-spun by the application of high electric potential. The fusion of nanotechnology and electrochemical technology has given birth to the Electrochemical Scanning Tunnelling Microscope.The digital industry which is booming in terms of marketing figures has the urge of finding new alternative energy storage system with low product development cost in order to meet the growing demands for Energy Management. This can be achieved by introducing next generation materials synthesized based on modern techniques.
