About this Research Topic
Conducting polymers (CPs), with their unique alternating double and single bond structures, have revolutionized the materials science field due to their ability to conduct electricity and heat. These materials have been intensively researched since their discovery, driven by their environmental friendliness, biocompatibility, and impressive conductivity. The scientific community continues to be enamored by CPs due to their promising commercial and environmental potential, which catalyzes ongoing research and innovations.
The goal of this research topic is to dissect the frontier developments in conducting polymers, particularly their integration into hybrid systems for enhanced environmental sustainability and energy storage solutions. It intends to elaborate on the molecular synergies within CP hybrids, their fabrication techniques, and functional capabilities that align with sustainable technology advancements. Through critical analysis and investigative studies, this topic will illuminate the path for future innovations and practical applications of CPs.
This Research Topic's scope encompasses a broad spectrum of potential applications and theoretical studies to elucidate CPs' properties more deeply. To advance knowledge and stimulate innovative research, we encourage submissions around the following themes:
- Synthesis and characterization of conjugated polymer hybrids.
- Investigating the impact of structural variations on CP properties.
- Enhancing sensory applications of CP nanomaterials in environmental monitoring.
- Developing CP hybrids for advanced dye remediation and heavy metal removal.
- Applications of CP hybrids in energy conversion and storage devices.
- Novel CP applications in agriculture and corrosion protection.
- Theoretical models and experimental validations of CP energy storage mechanisms.
By defining this expansive framework, the research topic seeks to not only explore but also define the next generation of CPs and their applications in addressing urgent global challenges in energy and environmental sectors.
