With the ever increasing energy crisis resulting from the depletion of conventional fossil fuels, the development of sustainable and renewable energy storage resources from renewable energy reservoirs like wind and solar is urgently needed. As renewable energy resources are intermittent, it is essential to have reliable energy storage systems in order to store and output energy in a stable manner. As well as pumped hydro storage, thermal energy storage, compressed air energy storage, and flywheel energy storage, electrochemical energy storage systems (EESS) include electrochemical capacitors (ECs), batteries, and fuel cells. There are several types of polymer nanocomposites that have unique physicochemical properties. Individual components cannot act alone to produce these properties. Research interests in polymer nanocomposites have been piqued because they have the potential to serve a variety of applications such as environmental remediation, energy storage, electromagnetic (EM) absorption, sensing and actuating, transportation and safety, defense systems, the information industry, and novel catalysts. The field of polymer nanocomposites has drawn considerable attention for its potential to solve both environmental and energy problems. In recent years, polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have attracted a great deal of attention due to their potential application in numerous energy storage devices. PNCs possess unique electrochemical properties that cannot be matched by single components alone. This E-Collection on Chemistry Polymer Nanocomposites for Energy Applications covers the recent important development and progress of PNCs with respect to electrode materials, electrolyte, and separator materials for batteries and Supercapacitors. The unique energy storage properties of dielectric capacitors have made them one of the most attraсtive ways to meet the increasing demand for on-demand electric energy. The ability to deliver large amounts of energy near instantaneously with a simple device that can last over millions of cycles is making dielectric capacitors one of the most attractive future options for large-scale electrical energy storage. Although it has been developed for energy storage in electric vehicles and personal power technologies, its low gravimetric energy density has prevented its widespread application. The dielectric properties of ceramic and polymer materials (e.g., breakdown field and dielectric constant, respectively) prevent them from being used in high energy density applications. Consequently, composite systems combining ceramics and polymers are of increasing interest since they promise to simultaneously improve the dielectric constant and breakdown field, thus improving energy storage. The collection is focused on the applications of polymeric materials for energy applications. The book also aims to provide a comprehensive overview of organic photovoltaics, organic light-emitting diodes, organic thin-film transistors, perovskites, and dye-sensitized solar cells, organic and inorganic nanocomposites products for energy applications, wearable electronics, and polymers as sensors. There will be a wide range of applications covered, from traditional to advance. The latest developments in the field will be discussed, including improvements in material properties, processing, and interface issues that arise when compositing materials, as well as solutions to these issues.
