Abstract

Polymeric-based flexible supercapacitors have received much attention due to their variable conductivity, good cyclic stability, different do** natures, and also eco-friendly processability. Polymeric-based flexible supercapacitors can be made effectively by incorporating polymeric materials into flexible substrates. In this chapter, new advancements in the study and creation of flexible supercapacitors based on polymeric materials are reviewed in detail. We focus on the electrochemical properties of conducting polymers based on polymeric materials, such as pure polymeric and polymeric-based hybrids in supercapacitors. The most recent developments in creating binary and ternary polymeric-based flexible materials with polymeric bases are described. Furthermore, the future and current scenario of polymeric-based materials in supercapacitors are also addressed. In the last, we examine the prime areas in research and development for commercializing polymeric-based supercapacitors.
