Abstract: Nanotechnology is drawing a lot of attention these days and therefore building great expectations not only in the academic community but also among investors, governments, and industries. Its unique capability to fabricate new structures at atomic scale has already produced novel materials and devices with great potential applications in the energy sector that will allow us to maintain our increasing appetite for energy, which increases both with the number of people that join the developed economies and with our demand per capita. This review article collects the most recent advances of nanotechnology to renewable energy production, storage and use. This review aims to introduce several significant applications of nanotechnology in renewable energy field. In this paper literature is reviewed and summarized carefully to give a panoramic overview about the role of nanotechnology in improving the renewable energy production.
