Other Applications of Electronically Conducting Polymers

Other Applications of Electronically Conducting Polymers. Future applications of electrochemistry in clean energy systems (based on solar light or chemically stimulated nuclear changes) seem possible. A major difficulty so far has been the expense of the materials. In this area, one of the initial studies involving 

The major difficulty in the 1990s for the development of electronically conducting polymers lies in the limited understanding we have about the relation between the molecular structure of the organic material and the resulting electronic conductance. 

However, the field is ripe for development, particularly in electrocatalysis for obtaining cheap, light, electrochemical storage and in molecular electronics coupled with prosthetics.
