| Summary: | Engineered nanomembranes are of great interest not only for large-scale energy storage devices, but also for on-chip energy storage integrated microdevices (such as microbatteries, microsupercapacitors, on-chip capacitors,
etc.
) because of their large active surfaces for electrochemical reactions, shortened paths for fast ion diffusion, and easy engineering for microdevice applications. In addition, engineered nanomembranes provide a lab-on-chip electrochemical device platform for probing the correlations of electrode structure, electrical/ionic conductivity, and electrochemical kinetics with device performance. This review focuses on the recent progress in engineered nanomembranes including tubular nanomembranes and planar nanomembranes, with the aim to provide a systematic summary of their fabrication, modification, and energy storage applications in lithium-ion batteries, lithium-oxygen batteries, on-chip electrostatic capacitors and micro-supercapacitors. A comprehensive understanding of the relationship between engineered nanomembranes and electrochemical properties of lithium ion storage with engineered single-tube microbatteries is given, and the flexibility and transparency of micro-supercapacitors is also discussed. Remarks on challenges and perspectives related to engineered nanomembranes for the further development of energy storage applications conclude this review.
This review presents recent progress in engineered tubular and planar nanomembranes for smart energy storage applications, especially related to the investigation of fundamental electrochemical kinetics. |

| Bibliography: | Yu Chen was born in Suzhou, China in 1986. He received his BE in Materials Science and Engineering and PhD degrees from National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2009 and 2014, respectively. After his postdoctoral studies (also at NUS), he became an associate professor in the School of Energy at Soochow University, China. His primary research interests focus on nanostructured functional materials and their applications in energy storage, particularly in the area of lithium/sodium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Chenglin Yan is a full professor at Soochow University and executive director of key laboratory of advanced carbon materials and wearable energy technology in Suzhou, China. He received his PhD from Dalian University of Technology in 2008. In 2011, he became a staff scientist and a group leader at the Institute for Integrative Nanoscience at the Leibniz Institute in Dresden. In 2013, the IFW-Dresden awarded Dr Chenglin Yan the IIN Research Prize 2013 for his group's research work. He received the Thousand Young Talents Award from the Chinese Thousand Talents Program in 2014. Oliver G. Schmidt is a Director at the IFW Dresden, Germany, and also holds a full Professorship in Material Systems for Nanoelectronics at the Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany. His scientific activities focus on inorganic nanomembrane materials and bridge across interdisciplinary research fields ranging from magnetoelectronics and nanophotonics to energy storage and microrobotics. He received the Otto-Hahn Medal from the Max-Planck-Society in 2000, the Philip-Morris Research Award in 2002, the Carus-Medal in 2005, and the International Dresden Barkhausen Award in 2013. He has published more than 500 peer-reviewed journal papers and has given more than 200 invited talks. Xianfu Wang received his BS degree from Jiangsu University in 2010 and PhD degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2015. He is now an associate professor at Soochow University. His current research focuses on the design and synthesis of nanostructured materials along with the investigation of their fundamental properties and potential applications in energy storage devices.
