This presentation will focus on four strategic themes in roles of nanostructures and their heterogeneous structures for electrochemical energy storage systems, research activities under the NEES Energy Frontier Research Center at the University of Maryland with 6 participating institutes; (1) cathode nanostructures (MnO2 and Sulfur), (2) anode nanostructures (Si and Ge nanowires), (3) enabling science and technology (real-time monitoring of single individual nanostructures) and (4) high density nanostruture assemblies and science.  These four themes will be described in the aspects of the synthesis, synthetic mechanisms and controllability, characterizations, new findings, and performances of well-defined nanostructures � mainly nanowire arrays.
