Abstract:

Topological quantum materials have attracted extensive attention in the field of energy conversion and storage due to their nontrivial topological surface states and high robustness to impurities， defects， or disorders of materials. This review briefly represents the classification of topological quantum materials and the corresponding energy band structures. At the same time， the research progress on topological quantum materials in water splitting， batteries， supercapacitors， and ethanol oxidation is introduced in combination with the development of topological quantum materials in the field of energy conversion and storage during the last decade. Finally， the existing challenges of topological quantum materials in the field of energy conversion and storage are summarized and new applications in the future are prospected.
