Description

Polymer nanocomposites have received a lot of interest recently in materials research as they display a variety of distinct properties compared to those of their counterpart polymer micro-composites, whose matrices include the same inorganic components. The flexible features of polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites, which may be easily adjusted to fulfill the specific needs in energy storage, have led to the rapid development of these materials in recent years. Numerous types of functional nanofiller integration have led to the advancement of PU-based nanocomposites. Details on PU nanocomposites' synthesis, characteristics, and uses in supercapacitors are covered in this chapter. There have been several approaches explored for the synthesis of various PU nanocomposites, including electrospinning, dip-coating, spray coating, and one-step carbonization. Recent advancements in the use of PU nanocomposites as supercapacitors, along with their challenges and possibilities in the future, are also discussed herein. This chapter also reviews recent developments in smart supercapacitors, including their various properties such as long-lasting cycling stability, excellent specific capacitance, high energy density, and good capacitance retention. Functions of supercapacitors include self-healing, shape memory, shape editing, and photodetection, along with specific emphasis on their recyclability and recoverability. 2026 Elsevier Ltd.
