Abstract

Metallopolymeric functional nanomaterials have been gained the significant interest of researchers because of their exclusive properties, commercial, biodegradability, high elasticity and efficient nature for their various applications in different fields. These materials are useful for the fabrication of economical energy conversion and optoelectronic devices. The domain of the applicability of these materials is very large such as energy devices, sensor/ actuators, biomedical applications, photodetectors and micromechanical devices. Energy conversion devices like photodetectors, photovoltaic solar cells, and light-dependent resistors can be manufactured by metallopolymer nanomaterials. When polymers are conjugated with the metals, they offer advanced functional opportunities for the advancement of the various energy harvesting materials with their enhanced properties. This article contains the recent accomplishments of the ongoing challenges for the metallopolymeric functional materials for their advanced solar energy applications which can affect human life.
