The desirability to achieve low or reducing  carbon emissions  from energy conversion processes were agreed worldwide, suggested to the new global challenges towards positive impact on decreasing the climate change and environmental sustainability for the 21 st   century. While meeting the increasing energy demands, the energy system is to solve the complex problem of reducing carbon emissions.  The nanoengineering has proved to be one of the most effective strategies to enhance the lithium storage of conversion type anode materials (CTAMs) ( Figure 1 ) [ 1 ].    The overall energy demand in a global world is expected to be in steady growth, although the increase rate is slower compared to the previous 40 years (see   Figure 2a ) [ 2 ]. Furthermore, the trend of global energy generation is shifting towards the renewables gaining share with chiefly lowering the portion of fossil fuels. Renewable energy is the fastest growing source of energy, ...
