Bimetallic oxide nickel cobaltite (NiCo 2 O 4 ) shows extensive potential for innovative photoelectronic and energetic materials owing to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. In this review, representative fabrications and applications of NiCo 2 O 4 nanostructures are outlined for photoelectronic conversion, catalysis, and energy storage, aiming to promote the development of NiCo 2 O 4 nanomaterials in these fields through an analysis and comparison of their diverse nanostructures. Firstly, a brief introduction of the spinel structures, properties, and morphologies of NiCo 2 O 4 nanomaterials are presented. Then, the advanced progress of NiCo 2 O 4 nanomaterials for both photoelectronic conversion and energy fields is summarized including such examples as solar cells, electrocatalysis, and lithium ion batteries. Finally, further prospects and promising developments of NiCo 2 O 4 nanomaterials in these significant fields are proposed.
