Recent Advances in Nanostructured Conducting Polymers: from Synthesis to Practical Applications

Abstract: Abstract:Conducting polymers (CPs) have been widely studied to realize advanced technologies in various areas such as chemical and biosensors, catalysts, photovoltaic cells, batteries, supercapacitors, and others. In particular, hybridization of CPs with inorganic species has allowed the production of promising functional materials with improved performance in various applications. Consequently, many important studies on CPs have been carried out over the last decade, and numerous researchers remain attracted … Show more

“…In addition, they demonstrate inherent limitations such as relatively low conductivity and lack of consistency in their properties. Therefore, considerable research was conducted to combine CPs with other heterogeneous species, and studies are underway to improve the sensitivity and selectivity with hybridization of CPs to other components in sensor applications . The research on CP‐based portable e‐nose systems will be discussed in this section.…”

“…For example, polymers can obtain good solubility and processability by introducing specific functional groups, i.e., poly (3-hexylthiophene NCP based composites exhibit outstanding performances owing to the synergistic performance derived from each component [15]. Finally, it is motivating to investigate suitable applications of NCPs and NCP-based composites by the increasing number of academic and industrial laboratories [9,16], including energy conversion and storage (batteries, supercapacitors, dielectric capacitors, solar cells, fuel cells) [6,7,14,[17][18][19][20][21][22], chemical sensors [23][24][25][26], biosensors [27][28][29], catalysis [30,31], optical devices [32], electroactive devices [33,34], biomedical devices [12,13], electromagnetic interference shielding [35], corrosion protection [16,36], antistatic agent [9], removal of heavy metal ions [37], tissue engineering [38] and other applications. NCPs and NCPbased composites can provide significant improvement of properties, including enhancing electrolyte diffusion for batteries and supercapacitors, improving dielectric performance in ferroelectric polymers-based capacitors, supporting effective exciton dissociation in solar cells, reducing response times and enhancing sensitivity of biosensors and chemical sensors and raising anti-corrosion efficiency.…”

“…According to our knowledge and discussions of other scientists, the distinct definitions of various methods are not quite clear, such as "template-free", "self-assembly" or "soft template" [9]. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages as listed in Table 2.…”
