“…The nanomaterial was efficiently applied as an EMI shield [57,58]. In addition to using neat polyaniline or blends, nanofillers have been filled in a polyaniline matrix to improve the electrical conductivity and EMI shielding characteristics [59,60]. Nanofiller addition was found to produce interfacial interactions and develop a strong interface to create dielectric and polarization effects in EMI shielding materials [61].…”

Electromagnetic interference disturbs the working of electronic devices and affects the surroundings and human health. Consequently, research has led to the development of radiation-protection materials. Inherently conducting polymers have been found to be suitable for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding owing to their fine electrical conductivity properties. Moreover, nanoparticle-reinforced conjugated polymers have been used to form efficient nanocomposites for EMI shielding. Nanoparticle addition has further enhanced the radiation protection capability of conducting polymers. This state-of-the-art comprehensive review describes the potential of conducting polymer nanocomposites for EMI shielding. Conducting polymers, such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polythiophene, have been widely used to form nanocomposites with carbon, metal, and inorganic nanoparticles. The EMI shielding effectiveness of conducting polymers and nanocomposites has been the focus of researchers. Moreover, the microscopic, mechanical, thermal, magnetic, electrical, dielectric, and permittivity properties of nanocomposites have been explored. Electrically conducting materials achieve high EMI shielding by absorbing and/or dissipating the electromagnetic field. The future of these nanomaterials relies on nanomaterial design, facile processing, and overcoming dispersion and processing challenges in this field.

This Review provides a succinct overview of a comparative review examining the role of nanomaterials in energy storage, focusing on developments in the United States (USA) and Africa. Nanomaterials have emerged as key players in revolutionizing energy storage technologies, with significant implications for global energy sustainability. In the USA, advancements in nanomaterials for energy storage have been at the forefront of research and development efforts. Nanostructured materials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and various metal oxides, have demonstrated exceptional properties, enhancing the performance of energy storage devices like batteries and supercapacitors. This review explores the latest innovations in the USA, highlighting the strides made in improving energy storage capacity, charging rates, and overall efficiency through the integration of nanomaterials. Contrastingly, the African continent has been an arena for unique challenges and opportunities in the realm of energy storage. Despite facing resource constraints and limited access to state-of-the-art research facilities, African researchers have showcased resilience and ingenuity in utilizing nanomaterials for energy storage solutions. This comparative analysis sheds light on the distinctive approaches taken by African nations, emphasizing indigenous innovations and locally sourced materials to address energy storage needs in a sustainable and context-specific manner. The review encompasses an examination of the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of nanomaterial applications in energy storage, drawing comparisons between the two regions. It considers the accessibility and affordability of nanomaterial-based technologies, exploring their potential to bridge energy disparities and foster economic development, particularly in African communities. As the global community strives to transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy systems, understanding the diverse landscapes of nanomaterial research and development is imperative. This comparative review serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders, offering insights into the nuanced dynamics of nanomaterial utilization in energy storage across the USA and Africa. It encourages collaborative efforts and knowledge exchange to propel the equitable advancement of energy storage technologies, ensuring that innovations benefit diverse populations and contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable energy future.

This work presents betanin dye-loaded TiO2-ZnO thin film solar cells for solar energy harvesting. The TiO2-ZnO nanocomposite was prepared by the one-step microwave-assisted technique. Structural studies exhibit mixed phases of rutile and wurtzite structure of TiO2 and ZnO respectively. The morphological investigations of deposited TiO2-ZnO nanocomposite showed interconnected many-fold nanoflakes morphology. EDS confirms the formation of stoichiometric TiO2-ZnO nanocomposite films. An optical study demonstrates electronic transition with a bandgap energy range of 2.72 to 2.94eV. Photovoltaic performance shows photocurrent from 1.62 to 2.73 mA/cm2 with the photovoltage of 659-795 mV in the range with a 3.25 % photo-conversion efficiency for the sample of TZO3 dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSCs).
