Polymer-based nanocomposites for supercapacitor applications: a review on principles, production and products

The current advances in energy storage devices has necessitated the development of functional polymer-based nanocomposites for supercapacitor applications. Supercapacitors are materials that exhibits enhanced capacitance, power density, life cycle, stability, durability, and catalytic activity. Hence, the incorporation of electrochemically active materials, particularly, carbon-based derivatives can significantly enhances synergistic properties with conducting polymers for advanced applications. Polymer-based derivates are receiving increasing attention and considerations based on their low cost, sustainability, and ease of production in supercapacitor development. Thus, this review highlights the details of…
