Conducting Polymer Hybrids

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

With the advancement of electronics and mobile technologies, supercapacitors are becoming the significant energy storage device. The properties of supercapacitor depend on electrochemical properties, electrochemical stability, surface area, and electrical conductivity of advanced electrode materials. Nanohybrid materials based on conducting polymers and carbon has been substantially explored over the preceding years. Strong hybridization with carbon materials, especially with graphene has been found in effectively improving the enactment of a supercapacitor with the control of size and morphology of nanoparticles, enrichment of the electron transport by adding nanocarbons, and modification of the electronic structures through charge transfer process. We have presented an overview of supercapacitor characteristics of hybrid nanostructures with conducting polymers, and carbon materials as electrode materials and extensively discusses their future trend for practical supercapacitor applications.
