This presentation will deal with the application of nanostructured interfaces to electrical energy generation and storage. The first part of the presentation will focus on the development and characterization, with emphasis on in-situ techniques, of new materials for fuel cell applications. Ordered intermetallic phases, both bulk electrodes and nano-particles, are employed as anodes  and core-shell nanostructures are employed for the oxygen reduction reaction.The second part of the presentation will deal with the use of organic materials for application in high performance cathodes for lithium ion rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. The results of synthesis, computational and electrochemical characterization studies will be presented.The presentation will conclude with a projection of future directions.
