Applications of conducting polymers in energy

Abstract

Conducting polymers (CPs), structures made on-demand, new composite mixtures, and possibility of deposit on a surface by chemical, physical, or electrochemical methodologies, have shown in the last years a renaissance and have been widely used in important fields of chemistry and materials science. This article will provide the basic definitions and fundamentals to understand state of the art of conducting polymers (CPs) in energy-related applications, particularly those related to electrochemical energy storage and photovoltaic conversion.
