Porous Conducting Polymer Nanosheets as a Functional Interlayer in Lithium Organic Batteries

Abstract

Conducting polymers featuring a π-conjugation system have garnered significant attention across diverse domains such as sensors, energy devices, and catalysts. Their appeal lies in their exceptional attributes, including high electrical conductivity, flexibility, and ease of production. This study focuses on the synthesis of highly crystalline conducting polymer nanosheets using ice templates, a novel approach facilitating the rapid production of nanosheets with uniform and elevated conductivity. Notably, we introduced nanoparticles into the synthesis process of conducting polymers using ice templates, resulting in the formation of nanoporous structures. Here we have impregnated porous nanosheets with organic/inorganic composites. we achieved the incorporation of ionic conductivity properties. The combination of enhanced electrical and ionic conductivity in these porous nanosheets positions them as promising interlayers for lithium-organic batteries. The outcomes of this research present a significant stride towards environmentally friendly future energy storage systems.
