Abstract

Polymer composites have long been favorable candidates in high performance and energy applications. Currently much research is being carried out to develop materials that are suitable for energy-related applications such as generators, storage devices, energy converters, etc. Polymer composite-based energy devices are well known for their ease of fabrication, durability, performance, and tunability of properties. Most of the polymer-based energy devices such as batteries, solar cells, supercapacitors, and separators are commercialized and are being widely used. This chapter briefly discusses the commercialization, lifecycle assessment, and recycling strategies applied for polymer composite-based energy devices.
