Polymers are increasingly finding applications in the areas of energy storage and conversion. A number of recent advances in the polymer molecular structure control thereby tuning of the polymer properties have led to these applications. This book assimilates these advances in the form of a comprehensive text which includes the synthesis and properties of a large number of polymer systems for applications in the areas of lithium batteries, photovoltaics, solar cells, etc.Polymers for Energy Storage and Conversion describes:PVAc-based polymer blend electrolytes for lithium batteriesThe structure and properties of polymer hydrogel with respect to its applications for low to intermediate temperature polymer electrolyte-based fuel cellsLithium polymer batteries based on ionic liquidsConjugated polymer-inorganic semiconductor compositesThe concept of the solar cell with the organic multiple quantum dots (MQDs)The solvent effects in polymer based organic photovoltaic devicesThe properties of the polymers which factor into their use for solar power both for niche applications as well as for large scale harvestingThe use of macroporous organic polymers as materials for energy gas storage.Content: Chapter 1 High Performance Polymer Hydrogel Based Materials for Fuel Cells (pages 1-25): Yogeshwar Sahai and Jia MaChapter 2 PVAc Based Polymer Blend Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries (pages 27-51): M.
