In this spirit, we will smdy the performance of structured PEDOT films in batteries and/or supercapacitors as well as the application of dedoped PT and P3MT in bulk heterojunction solar cells in the near future [12-15]. Furthermore, thenanostructured conjugated polymer films may find application in thermoelectric devices [47-50],... 

This opened-up a number of strategies for the creation of high-performance functional materials whose morphology is controlled on the 10-nm length scale, which Maik used to create materials with unprecedented electrochromic properties, a world-leading supercapacitor, and 3D 10 nm structured conjugated polymer assemblies that cannot be manufactured in any other fashion. 

Electrochemical reaction usually consists of a blend of two materials an electron-donor TT-conjugated polymer (donor, D) and an electron-acceptor fullerene derivative (acceptor, A). Polymers with electrochemical properties have attracted considerable attention over past decades due to potential applications in various fields including low-cost, lightweight, and flexible electrode materials in photovoltaic devices, such as, solar cells and energy storage devices like supercapacitors (Ripolles-Sanchis et al., 2013 Gelinck et al, 2010 Snook etal, 2011).

In the above ECP-based supercapacitors, the polymer capacity is determined entirely by the electrochemical reaction of the n-conjugated systems. Naoi et al. [52] are pursuing a new polymer engineering strategy to combine the redox process of the Ji-conjugated system with that of other high specific-capacity electroactive moieties. They have demonstrated that an electroactive moiety such as quinone (Q/Q 7Q ), when condensed between two aniline moieties, yields a polymer, poly-(l,5-diaminoanthraquinone).
