Abstract

In the contemporary era, the techno-advanced world centers around the pivotal concept of “Energy Demand.” The major unbreakable problem is to zoom in toward the narration of crafting alternate material-fed light toward the nanocomposites (NCs) via eco-friendly solid-state handmade grinding method. Mechanochemical synthesis of NC emerges as a superior alternative to traditional approaches. Notably, solid synthesis stands out by eliminating the need for solvents, offering heightened reproducibility, and facilitating large-scale production. NCs involve the organic and inorganic materials incorporation leading to the formation of hybrid NC which in turn leads to the alteration in the physicochemical properties of the as-crafted material via altering the electronic band structural properties. This band gap alteration had a greater advantage over the charge separation character driving us to enhance the energy harvesting and storage process. An energy storage system based on electrochemical supercapacitors provides extended power density and prolonged cyclic stability. In addition, the porous nature of the NC increases the mobility of ions of the electrolyte to penetrate into the NC more facile and this favors the purpose of energy harvesting harmony. The discussions of this chapter serve as the promising tool for advanced energy storing systems with improved performance in the power density and in the retainability toward many cycles.
