The interplay between two paradigms, artificial intelligence (AI) and optical metasurfaces, nowadays appears obvious and unavoidable. AI is permeating literally all facets of human activity, from science and arts to everyday life. On the other hand, optical metasurfaces offer diverse and sophisticated multifunctionalities, many of which appeared impossible only a short time ago. The use of AI for optimization is a general approach that has become ubiquitous. However, here we are witnessing a two-way process—AI is improving metasurfaces but some metasurfaces are also improving AI. AI helps design, analyze and utilize metasurfaces, while metasurfaces ensure the creation of all-optical AI chips. This ensures positive feedback where each of the two enhances the other one: this may well be a revolution in the making. A vast number of publications already cover either the first or the second direction; only a modest number includes both. This is an attempt to make a reader-friendly critical overview of this emerging synergy. It first succinctly reviews the research trends, stressing the most recent findings. Then, it considers possible future developments and challenges. The author hopes that this broad interdisciplinary overview will be useful both to dedicated experts and a general scholarly audience.

The development of next generation energy storage devices with low self‐discharge rate, high energy density and low cost are the requirements to meet the future and environmental needs. In recent years, energy demand has risen in tandem with population growth and technological advancement. Energy resources are finite. Thus, solving economic difficulties and ensuring their continuous and efficient consumption will require new research and technologies. The use of nanomaterials in energy storage devices improves the performance of the devices with its morphologies and properties like high surface area, tunable pore size, good ionic and conductive properties. It also plays a critical role by improving the long lifespan, safety, and cyclicity of electrodes materials. This short review brings out the main approaches about the comprehensive analysis of the recent advances and future prospect of nanomaterials for energy storage technology and its applications. It discusses the classification of nanomaterials i. e., carbon‐based materials, metal‐oxides, nanowires, conductive polymers, etc. and the environmental impact in the energy storage technologies of nanomaterials. They also make it possible to occupy all the intercalation sites in the particle volume, which results in quick ion diffusion and high specific capacities. Because of these characteristics, electrodes made of nanomaterials can withstand high currents, making them a potential option for storing energy at high power and energy density. The related market study predicts that the worldwide market for nanotechnology in the energy sector will expand from an estimated $ 139.7 million in 2020 to $ 384.8 million in 2030, representing a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 10.7 percent from 2021 to 2030. Research indicates that energy storage and conversion systems using nanomaterials are more efficient. Carbon‐based materials, metal‐oxides, nanowires, conductive polymers, etc. added to phase change materials were studied for their high charge and discharge rates. Prior research indicated that several material properties, including size, concentration, form, and phase transition, significantly impacted the storage efficiency of composites. This review article also summarises and discusses the current state of knowledge regarding effective nanomaterials for its role in energy storage and conversion. Finally, possible uses for nanomaterials in new energy storage technologies, including wearable and flexible electronics, grid‐scale energy storage, and electrochemical energy conversion with different applications is discussed.
