The utilization of 4D time and spatially resolved data sets on complex materials systems with well-defined morphology, size and composition will offer the ability to enhance control and engineering of complex materials and nanostructures relevant to a vast array of technologies including: solar-energy harvesting and solar to fuel conversion, heat energy recovery, and novel photoactive nanostructured devices.   We will report the development of femtosecond electron imaging (diffraction and microscopy) methods along with recent results on energy and charge transport, and structural dynamics at the nanometer scale.  We will discuss roadmap for transition from elucidating nanomaterials properties to functional imaging of devices with a multi-functional probe setup.
