Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers as Energy Storage Materials and Enhancing Their Efficiency

The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances in inorganic and organometallic polymers as electrode materials for supercapacitors. The review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various electrode materials, including activated metal oxides and hydroxides, coordination polymers, and their composites. Inorganic and coordination polymers have attracted high interests as electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors, because of their electrical conductivity, high surface area, low cost and chemical stability. At the end of this review, future trends for construction new types of electrochemical capacitor are proposed.
