Nanocomposite polymer electrolytes

The present effort reviews the state-of-the-art trends in respect of composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) which are nowadays revolutionizing the modern approach towards energy storage and power supply gadgets. This evaluation mainly encompasses a series of systems based on polymer hosts such as poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-co-HFP), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and polyvinylchloride (PVC) developed and analyzed so far apart from certain nanofiller incorporated composite polymer electrolytes being used in conjunction with well-suited electrodes owing to their practical significance in several advanced types of power sources including hybrid electric vehicles. The emerging nanoscale techniques have by now led the market to appreciate the application potential of nanostructured inorganic and organic materials so as to realize enhanced efficiencies of batteries thereby providing one of the most promising energy storage devices as well.
