“…Since the works of Rubner et al [4][5][6][7], conducting polymers (CPs) were also intensively involved in similar studies by taking advantage of the CPs charged state (usually positively charged chains for oxidized CPs) and their high electric conductivity. CPs in combination with anionic polyelectrolytes [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] or other negatively charged species, i.e., anion-stabilized metallic NPs [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], metal oxide NPs (e.g., V 2 O 5 [25,26], TiO 2 [27,28], and ZnO [29,30]), magnetic NPs [31,32], CdS [33], polyoxometallates [34,35], and polyoxometallate-stabilized metallic NPs [36][37][38][39] were studied in view of different applications.…”
