Abstract

Recently, polymer nanocomposites have become among the most effective approaches to creating multifunctional materials with significant improvement in their electrical, physical, and chemical properties. This nanocomposite material has been widely studied in both academia and industry due to its outstanding properties for various energy-related applications. Polymer nanocomposites based on silica, carbon nanotubes, graphene, boron nitride, and metal oxides are chosen for energy-related applications. Various synthesis methods to achieve polymer nanocomposites have been discussed. In addition, the surface morphological characteristics have been highlighted to realize the structure-property relationship. Finally, this chapter describes recent promising research on polymer nanocomposites for applications in supercapacitors, solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries, and fuel cells in detail, including the future scope of the study.
