With energy at the forefront of the national economy and security energy-directed applications are of particular interest. Not surprisingly, energy and materials are intimately related.  Many forms of energy utilization, conversion and storage and generation are dominated by interfacial reactions.  Therein nanomaterials as an interfacial modifier will play a critical role in these processes.  Though synthesis of a host of organic and inorganic nanomaterials has been demonstrated, their integration into practical applications remains highly challenging.  This talk will provide an overview of their synthesis, integration and value in energy storage, conservation, transfer, efficiency, control and generation.
