Abstract

Increasing demand for flexible electronics in medical gadgets, electronic paper, and different types of monitoring systems such as health and sports monitors attracted the attention of scientists to construct these types of devices at low cost with excellent electrical properties. Various flexible materials made up of organic components, silicon-based materials, indium gallium zinc oxide, carbon nanotubes, and organic–inorganic nanocomposites have been introduced in this regard. Among all these types of materials, organic–inorganic nanocomposites are placed at a vital position which are made up by hybridization of different metals/metal oxides with polymers (porphyrin, polyaniline, polyimide, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), etc.). Their well-defined morphology and excellent performance in different types of solar cells, supercapacitors, optoelectronics, and thermoelectric devices make them suitable candidates for flexible electronic devices. In this chapter, we provide an overview for the construction of organic–inorganic nanohybrids and their applications in different types of flexible electronic devices which may be helpful for the researchers in future to synthesize novel flexible materials.
