Functional Energy Materials: From 1D and 2D Polymers to 3D Carbon Nanomaterials
It is estimated that the world will need to double its energy supply by 2050.With the rapid increase in the global energy consumption, there is a pressing need for clean and renewable energy alternatives.Polymers have been traditionally used as electrically insulating materials: after all, metal wires are coated in plastics to insulate them.Various 1D and 2D conjugated macromolecules with alternating single and double bonds can now be synthesized with unusual electrical and optical properties through the π-electron delocalization along their backbones.Due to the molecular rigidity of conjugated backbones, however, most unfunctionalized conjugated polymers are intractable (i.e., insoluble and/or infusible).Nevertheless, a number of synthetic methods have been devised to produce conjugated polymers with the processing advantages of plastics and the optoelectronic properties of inorganic semiconductors for optoelectronic device applications, including polymer photovoltaic cells 1.
