Abstract

Conductive polymers (CPs) have been of interest to researchers because of their respective good benefits compared to conventional materials. Their advantages include a wider and adjustable electrical conductivity, a simplified production method, a higher mechanical stability, their general affordability, their lighter weight compared to other materials, and their simple processing. In comparison to the bulk CPs, nanostructured CPs enjoy greater electrical conductivity, larger surface areas, and better electrochemical activities, making them proper materials for multiple uses. Moreover, hybridization between CPs and other nanomaterials allows researchers to obtain attractive functional nanocomposites. Therefore, CP nanocomposites and their benefits have been quickly developed to meet recent demands in analytical uses. As a result, this chapter will address several possible uses of CP-based nanocomposites in energy storage and conversion instrumentation, sensors and biosensors. © 2022 American Chemical Society.
