“…Currently, most studies are focused on developing advanced materials to improve the conductivity, charge/discharge rate, effective surface area, and redox capability of pseudocapacitors. For example, CPs have been combined with other functional materials, which has provided opportunities for ameliorating conductivity (particularly at the more negative/reducing potentials), cycling stability, mechanical stability, specific capacitance, and processibility [ 96 , 97 ].…”

Conducting polymers (CPs) have received much attention in both fundamental and practical studies because they have electrical and electrochemical properties similar to those of both traditional semiconductors and metals. CPs possess excellent characteristics such as mild synthesis and processing conditions, chemical and structural diversity, tunable conductivity, and structural flexibility. Advances in nanotechnology have allowed the fabrication of versatile CP nanomaterials with improved performance for various applications including electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, and energy devices. The aim of this review is to explore the conductivity mechanisms and electrical and electrochemical properties of CPs and to discuss the factors that significantly affect these properties. The size and morphology of the materials are also discussed as key parameters that affect their major properties. Finally, the latest trends in research on electrochemical capacitors and sensors are introduced through an in-depth discussion of the most remarkable studies reported since 2003.

“…Over the last decades nanocomposites based on carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (GR) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) combined with conducting polymers (CPs) such as polypyrrole (PPy), polyaniline (PANi), polythiophene (PTh), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) have opened a new era in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology [1]. More recently, CNMs/CPs nanocomposites have received considerable attention as sensing materials due to their extraordinary proprieties mainly including excellent electrical conductivities, large active surface area and stability [2]. Monitoring and control of environmental pollution are fields that these nanocomposites have been extensively used as sensors to analyze a variety of pollutants such as heavy metals ions (Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Hg 2+ ) and pesticides [3,4].…”

In this paper, a new nanocomposite of polypyrrole (PPy) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) has been reported for the determination of traces lead ions (Pb 2+ ). The obtained nanocomposite was fabricated by combining the unique advantages of PPy and CNFs using a very simple approach, which consists on modifying the CPE by the functionalized CNFs and then by the PPy film using galvanostatic mode. Several techniques were used to investigate the functionalized CNFs and the PPy/CNFs nanocomposite including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for surface layers of CNFs, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for the electrical proprieties of the PPy/CNFs nanocomposite. The surface morphologies were examined by field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM). The square wave anodic striping voltammetry (SWASV) was used to investigate the analytical performances of the designed electrode PPy/CNFs/CPE. Different parameters that affect the stripping analysis of Pb 2+ including supporting electrolyte, deposition potential, and deposition time were investigated. Under the optimum experimental conditions, a good linearity between the stripping peak currents and the concentration of Pb 2+ was obtained in the range of concentration from 0.2 to 130 µg L -1 Pb 2+ . The detection limit was estimated to be 0.05 µg L -1 Pb 2+ . Finally, the proposed method has been successfully applied for the determination of Pb 2+ in real samples of tap water with satisfactory results.

“…It was estimated to be between 0.1 and 20% [168][169][170]. We have seen that the combination of conducting polymers and carbon nanomaterials or nanoparticles has led to better properties of these components [46,[171][172][173]. Metallic nanoparticles offer unique advantages when used for electroanalysis: enhancement of mass transport, catalysis, and high-effective surface area.…”

“…Chemical preparation [41], sonochemical method [42], sol-gel technique [43], ultrasonic irradiation [44], and photochemical preparation [45] have also been used. Nanocomposites based on conducting polymers and nanoparticles (CNMs or MNPs) were the focus of increasing numbers of papers or reviews to understand fundamental aspects and the potential applications of these nanostructures [46]. According to the sciences direct web site, the number of paper devoted to nanocomposites based CP and NPs increased from 3427 in 2011 to 7444 in July 2017, as shown in Fig.…”

Over the years, intensive research works have been devoted to conducting polymers due to their potential application in many fields such as fuel cell, sensors, and capacitors. To improve the properties of these compounds, several new approaches have been developed which consist in combining conducting polymers and nanoparticles. Then, this review intends to give a clear overview on nanocomposites based on conducting polymers, synthesis, characterization, and their application as electrochemical sensors. For this, the paper is divided into two parts: the first part will highlight the nanocomposites synthesized by combination of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) and conducting polymers. The preparation of polymer/CNMs such as graphene and carbon nanotube modified electrode is presented coupled with relevant applications. The second part consists of a review of nanocomposites synthesized by combination of metal nanoparticles and conducting polymers.
