Polymerized hybrid nanocomposite implementations of energy conversion cells device

Abstract Hybridized conducting polymers are the significant trends of materials for implementing technologies such as solar energy conversion, fuel cells, organic electronics, applied environmental science, and advance nanotechnologies. The performance loss in polymer electrolyte fuel cells operated at high current density explored due to physico-chemical origins. As community drives toward from the burning of fossil fuels, many new systems such as solar, wind, and hydrogen power are rapidly becoming available on the market. As of now, the fuel cells are able to harness the power of hydrogen gas to directly produce electricity with only heat and water as a byproduct. However, fuel cells transform the chemical energy of a hydrogen and oxygen reaction directly into electrical energy without an intermediate mechanical process. The basic mechanism in fuel cells the electrolyte layer is called a proton exchange membrane or polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM). Hydrogen diffuses into the anode while oxygen diffuses into the cathode, completing an electrical circuit. Mainly illustrated in this chapter how we improved the ionic/transport properties of polymer electrolytes by utilizing different filler groups, plasticizers, salts, etc., favorable for designing energy conversion cell devices. The chapter deals with typical synthesis, characterization, and improved physical properties of polymer nanocomposites novel senor devices, particularly by using poly vinylidene fluoride (PVdF) and poly ethylene oxide (PEO) materials elaborated in details. Based on our current investigation may predicted that the nanocomposite polymer electrolyte (NCPE) containing Li ferrite is a better conducting system among the investigated fillers having better morphology, thermal, mechanical, and electrochemical stability.
