Abstract
Electrochemical batteries and supercapacitors are considered ideal rechargeable technologies for next‐generation energy storage systems. The key to further commercial applications of electrochemical energy storage devices is the design and investigation of electrode materials with high energy density and significant cycling stability. Recently, amorphous materials have attracted a lot of attention due to their more defects and structure flexibility, opening up a new way for electrochemical energy storage. In this perspective, we summarize the recent research regarding amorphous materials for electrochemical energy storage. This review covers the advantages and features of amorphous materials, the synthesis strategies to prepare amorphous materials, as well as the application and modification of amorphous electrodes in energy storage fields. Finally, the challenges and prospective remarks for future development in amorphous materials for electrochemical energy storage are concluded.
