Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of polymer composites as efficient energy storage materials has acquired substantial attention owing to the rising demand for viable energy solutions. It is essential to identify low-cost and environment-friendly energy storage materials to utilize the abundant energy resources. The construction of energy storage devices such as supercapacitors from polymer composites may provide an interesting focus at this time. Among the energy storage devices, supercapacitors have been of profound interest to researchers because of their low cost, prompt charge–discharge capability, suitable specific power, and expected safety. Regarding sensor applications, polymer composites play a vibrant role in sensing various hazardous chemicals. Nowadays, there is an extensive consumption of environmentally harmful chemicals in various industrial processes such as in the production of dyes, engineering polymers, explosives, medicinal products, anti-corrosion lubricants, and so on. To address the challenges in this field, it is crucial to focus on the design and synthesis of suitable polymeric materials to improve the energy density, cycle life, and safety of electrochemical devices, as well as reduce their costs and environmental impact for sensor applications. These can be achieved through continued research into novel polymer composite materials for sensor applications, as well as the optimization of the control and management strategies for energy storage systems. By addressing these aspects in this Special Issue, more efficient and sustainable energy conversion, storage solutions, and sensors can be developed. Topics in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Polymer composites;
- fabrications;
- supercapacitors;
- energy storage device;
- sensors.
