Conjugated and Redox Polymer Composites for Organic Electrochemical Energy Storage

Widespread growth of energy storage technologies comes hand in hand with the penetration of renewable energy sources and the proliferation of electric transportation technologies. This dissertation has focused on the solution-based synthesis of polymer-based composite electrodes for electrochemical energy storage (EES) as a suitable option against traditional inorganic based materials. Emphasis have been placed on the need to incorporate sustainability measures during the process in order to meet the current and future role of EES devices in society. To do so, the design principles defined for the synthesis process included, among others, the need to use aqueous reaction media, incorporation of low-cost and bio-mass derived feedstocks to the electrode fabrication process, avoidance of critical materials, and maintaining the temperature of the individual processes below 250°C. The main result indicates that the electrochemical performance of the nanocomposite materials surpass that of the polymer-based versions of the same.
