Abstract : Nanotechnology has significantly impacted electrical engineering by advancing the capabilities of energy storage and transfer systems. This paper explores the integration of nanomaterials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and nanowires into batteries, supercapacitors, and energy transmission lines. These nanomaterials offer superior electrical conductivity, increased energy density, and enhanced charge-discharge efficiency. For example, graphene-based batteries demonstrate faster charging times and higher storage capacities compared to conventional batteries. Additionally, the use of carbon nanotubes in energy transmission can reduce energy loss and improve the efficiency of power grids. The paper also discusses the economic and environmental benefits of these advancements, including lower energy costs and reduced carbon footprint. Challenges such as the scalability of nanomaterial production and potential environmental impacts are addressed. Future research directions include developing cost-effective production methods and improving the integration of nanomaterials into existing electrical systems.
