Abstract
With the escalating environmental pressures, the multifaceted characteristics of 3D materials in terms of energy utilization and stability have attracted widespread attention. This paper employs literature research, surveys, and descriptive research methods to discuss how 3D composite nanomaterials promote further innovation in new solar cells and their application in practical situations. The article mainly focuses on 2D/3D perovskite solar cells, multi-walled carbon nanomaterials, and three-dimensional ordered macroporous materials (3DOM) and deeply explores their roles in various battery frameworks. The research finds that the incorporation of 3D composite nanomaterials has promoted progress in solar cells in terms of conversion efficiency and high transmission speed, but there are still great challenges in terms of popularization and stability. It also emphasizes their far-reaching impact on promoting sustainable energy development. This paper not only provides insights into cutting-edge research but also highlights the profound impact that the development of 3D nanomaterials has on advancing sustainable energy development options. Unlocking the full potential of three-dimensional nanomaterials through interdisciplinary cooperation holds great promise for solving energy problems and creating new fields.
