Conducting polymeric nanocomposites: A review in solar fuel applications

In situsynthesis of polythiophene encapsulated 2D hexagonal boron nitride nanocomposite based electrochemical transducer for detection of 5-fluorouracil with high selectivity

“…36,39,40 As an organic part of Conducting Polymers (CPs) such as polyaniline (PANI), polythiophene (PTh), and polypyrrole (PPy) are of great interest due to their unique physical and chemical properties such as adjustable architecture, adaptability, charge carrier channeling, versatility, high thermal, chemical stability, and enormous electrical conductivity. [41][42][43][44] Most interestingly, polythiophene (PTh) is a conducting polymer with a low band gap of 2 eV as it has an electron-rich sulfur atom. 45 Moreover, the PTh is adorned on the top of the 2D h-BN nanosheets, further improving the sensing performance with high precision and accuracy due to the high electrical conductivity, 46 conjugated electronic system in the structure of the PTh, 47 enhanced the activity of h-BN aer functionalization.…”

Revealing the improved sensitivity of PEDOT:PSS/PVA thin films through secondary doping and their strain sensors application

“…6 Due to that, conducting polymers (CP) such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and polythiophene (PTh) are usually implemented as sensor materials due to their chemical and physical properties that can be signicantly changed in response to external stimuli such as temperature, pH, stress, moisture, electric elds, magnetic elds, light and chemical compounds. [7][8][9][10] CP based thin lms can exhibit some advantages over metal-based thin lms in terms of their exibility, easy-processing, low-cost and manageable-waste. They can be fabricated through spin coating, drop casting, dipping, chemical graing or chemical vapour deposition method.…”

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of modified black phosphorus-incorporated PANi/PAN nanofibers

“…39,40 PANi, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), polyacetylene, polyfuran, poly(p-phenylenevinylene), polythiophene, and their derivatives are some of the common types of conductive polymers. [45][46][47] Unfortunately, the spinning solution of conductive polymers does not have sufficient viscosity for the successful fabrication of NFs, thus necessitating the addition of an auxiliary polymer such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The PAN/PANi NFs serve as an electrocatalytically active matrix to prevent BPNs from agglomerations as well as to enhance their photocatalytic performance.…”
