Abstract

This review article investigates the hot topics by presenting the latest advances in carbazole and its derivative synthesis and their electropolymerization processes. The carbazole-based compounds are particularly attractive due to their important photochemical and thermal stability and good hole-transport ability. Conjugated monomers of carbazole derivatives and their polymers attract interest due to their suitability in a broad range of applications, such as biosensors, corrosion inhibition, photovoltaics, electroluminescent devices, field-effect transistors and supercapacitors, etc. This review article divides two main parts. One of them includes effects of electropolymerization parameters of carbazole and chemical polymerization of carbazole derivatives. In addition, copolymers and composites of carbazole derivatives were presented in the first part. In the second part, the application of polycarbazole and its derivatives was examined as biosensors, corrosion inhibition, supercapacitor, battery, fuel cell, solar cell, electropolymerization, light emitting diodes, and OLEDs.
