由于毛细作用力，大量非常规化石资源尚未被开发，这使得石油滞留在地下。此外，随着对可持续能源的需求日益增加，以及对环境保护的日益重视，迫切需要开发有效弥合化石资源和可再生资源之间差距的材料。纳米材料因其固有的特性可以增加储能或促进化石能源的回收，因此受到了广泛的关注。因此，本章介绍了纳米技术在生产非常规资源和可再生能源方面的最新进展。本章主要关注纳米材料在化石和可再生能源方面的应用。这一章并不是对纳米材料的详尽描述，而是旨在为可能的工程应用扩大关于功能纳米材料的知识。
Large volumes of unconventional fossil resource are untapped because of the capillary forces, which kept the oil stranded underground. Furthermore, with the increasing demand for sustainable energy and the rising attention geared towards environment protection, there is a vital need to develop materials that bridge the gap between the fossil and renewable resources effectively. An intensive attention has been given to nanomaterials, which from their native features could increase either the energy storage or improve the recovery of fossil energy. The present chapter, therefore, presents the recent advancements of nanotechnology towards the production of unconventional resources and renewable energy. The chapter focuses primarily on nanomaterials applications for both fossils and renewable energies. The chapter is not intended to be an exhaustive representation of nanomaterials, rather it aims at broadening the knowledge on functional nanomaterials for possible engineering applications.
