Abstract

Polymer based-nanocomposites (PNC) have attracted considerable industrial and research concerns thanks to their outstanding applications in various areas and it is expected to be one of the most useful functions for nanotechnology trends. PNC consists of a polymer with different nanofillers that scattered in a polymer matrix. The attained nanocomposites could have different shapes, structures, and geometry (for example, platelets, fibers, and spheres), but a range from 1 to 100 nm is accounted specially for one-dimension structure. They demonstrate unique merits that cannot achieved with individual compounds that act alone. Nanofillers enhance the characteristics of polymeric substances for their possible use as materials for advanced energy storage systems. Polymer nanocomposites appear to have a very bright future for many applications due to their low average cost and ease of production, which make our life relaxed. The current chapter mainly focuses on different polymer nanocomposites and their applications for energy storage includes electrochemical capacitors and lithium-ion batteries.
