Large-scale renewable energy must overcome conversion and storage challenges before it can replace fossil fuels due to its intermittent nature.However,current sustainable energy devices still suffer from high cost,low efficiency,and poor service life problems.Recently,porous metal-based materials have been widely used as desirable cross-functional platforms for electrochemical and photochemical energy systems for their unique electrical conductivity,catalytic activity,and chemical stability.To tailor the porosity length scale,ordering,and compositions,3D printing has been applied as a disruptive manufacturing revolution to create complex architected components by directly joining sequential layers into designed structures.This article intends to summarize cutting-edge advances of metal-based materials for renewable energy devices (e.g.,fuel cells,solar cells,supercapacitors,and batteries)over the past decade.
