摘要

Nanopolymers are polymers engineered at the nanoscale or composed of nanostructured components with properties such as increased surface area, enhanced conductivity, and optoelectronic performance. These characteristics make nanopolymers highly useful for energy conversion and storage applications, like solar cells, batteries, fuel cells, and other energy related components. Nanopolymers are playing significant roles in the growing demand for more efficient renewable energy sources. In energy storage systems, nanopolymers are greatly improving the performance of batteries and fuel cells by enhancing ion transport and stability of the electrolytes. Due to their small size, nanopolymers possess large surface area, allowing for greater charge storage capacity. They function as efficient hole and electron transfer materials, as well as interface layers, improving carrier separation and minimizing recombination. In organic solar cells, nanopolymers act as donor layers, buffer layers, and polymer-based micro/nanostructures in both binary and ternary devices, enhancing overall device performance. Additionally, the incorporation of nanopolymers in electrocatalysts and proton exchange membranes (PEMs) significantly boosts the efficiency and durability of fuel cells, playing a key role in advancing sustainable energy solutions.
