Conducting Polymers/Inorganic Nanohybrids for Energy Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polymer-Engineered Nanostructures for Advanced Energy Applications

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials and Processes ((EMP))

Abstract

Conducting polymers/inorganic nanohybrids embrace the key to basic advances in electrical energy system, which are very important in order to meet the challenge of global warming and the finite nature of fossil fuels. This architecture has opened the possibility to combine in a single material both the attractive properties of a mechanically and thermally stable inorganic backbone and the specific chemical reactivity, dielectric, ductility, flexibility, and processability of the conducting polymer. Nanohybrids in particular offer combinations of properties as electrodes in a range of electrical energy devices. This chapter explains some recent developments in the discovery of electrodes for rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors. The advantages and disadvantages of the conducting polymers/inorganic hybrid electrode design for such devices are also discussed.
