Popis: Organic conjugated polymer based flexible sustainable storage devices have potential future applications in battery electric vehicles, rechargeable batteries, fuel cell vehicles due to their remarkable conductivity, low cost, easy fabrication in the industrial scale, stability (chemical, thermal and environmental), optical property, electroluminescence, doping-dedoping characteristics and controlling dimension (size and morphological structures) of electrode materials in the nanoscale from zero dimension (0D) to three dimension (3D). However, their application is limited due to low energy density, and loss of electrochemical properties at high temperatures. This can be overcome by functionalization of various metal oxides (e.g. TiO2, MnO2, ZnO, Fe3O4, SiO2, etc.), and nanocarbons (e.g. 3D graphene nanosheets, 1D carbon nanotubes, 0D graphene quantum dots, carbon nanofibers, etc.) with novel organic conjugated polymers by using various synthesis methodologies. It is due to well-defined structures, large surface area, excellent electrical and mechanical properties of nanostructured metal oxides or nanocarbons-functionalized conducting polymer hybrids.
