Conjugated Polymer Nanostructures for Energy Conversion and Storage Applications

A timely overview of fundamental and advanced topics of conjugated polymer nanostructures

*Conjugated Polymer Nanostructures for Energy Conversion and Storage Applications *is a comprehensive reference on conjugated polymers for energy applications. Distinguished academic and editor Srabanti Ghosh offers readers a broad overview of the synthesis, characterization, and energy-related applications of nanostructures based on conjugated polymers. The book includes novel approaches and presents an interdisciplinary perspective rooted in the interfacing of polymer and synthetic chemistry, materials science, organic chemistry, and analytical chemistry.

This book provides complete descriptions of conjugated polymer nanostructures and polymer-based hybrid materials for energy conversion, water splitting, and the degradation of organic pollutants. Photovoltaics, solar cells, and energy storage devices such as supercapacitors, lithium ion battery electrodes, and their associated technologies are discussed, as well.

Conjugated Polymer Nanostructures for Energy Conversion and Storage Applications covers both the fundamental topics and the most recent advances in this rapidly developing area, including:

• The design and characterization of conjugated polymer nanostructures, including the template-free and chemical synthesis of polymer nanostructures
• Conjugated polymer nanostructures for solar energy conversion and environmental protection, including the use of conjugated polymer-based nanocomposites as photocatalysts
• Conjugated polymer nanostructures for energy storage, including the use of nanocomposites as electrode materials
• The presentation of different and novel methods of utilizing conjugated polymer nanostructures for energy applications
  Perfect for materials scientists, polymer chemists, and physical chemists, Conjugated Polymer Nanostructures for Energy Conversion and Storage Applications also belongs on the bookshelves of organic chemists and any other practicing researchers, academics, or professionals whose work touches on these highly versatile and useful structures.
