The development of nanotechnology in the past two decades has generated great capability of controlling materials at the nanometer scale and has enabled exciting opportunities to design materials with desirable photonic, electronic, ionic and mechanical properties, which are important for energy and environment technologies. In this talk, I will show how we design rationally nanostructured materials to address critical problems for these applications. Examples include: 1) High capacity nanostructured Si anodes and S cathodes. 2) Nanostructured solar cells. 3) Nanowire transparent electrodes.
