摘要如下:
Nanostructured materials become critically important in many areas of technology, ranging from renewable energy, electronics, and photonics to biology and medicine, because of their unusual physical/chemical properties due to confined dimensions of such materials. This talk will present a new class of polymeric materials we developed recently: nanostructured conducting polymer gels (nCPGs) that offer an array of advantageous features such as intrinsic 3D nanostructured conducting framework, excellent electronic and electrochemical properties, synthetically tunable structures and chemical interfaces. These functional organic building blocks have been demonstrated powerful for a number of significant applications in energy, environmental and health-related technologies. Several examples on developing nCPGs-based next-generation energy storage devices will be discussed to illustrate ‘structure-derived functions’ of this special class of materials. Additionally, I will present our recent efforts in studying novel organic redox molecules for potential stationary energy storage.
