DESCRIPTION:We are reporting during the last years that liquid-liquid (L/
 L) interfaces are suitable confined medium to stabilize thin films of un
 processable materials\, easily transferable to \nseveral ordinary substr
 ates enabling their studies in thin films-based devices. In this talk wi
 ll be presented the strategies and synthetic approach to prepare thin\, 
 transparent\, \nhomogeneous and conducting films of different carbon nan
 ostructures (carbon nanotubes and graphene)\, as well as their nanocompo
 sites with metal nanoparticles\, \nconducting polymers and inorganic mat
 erials like Prussian blue and analogues. Also\, a novel chemical (bottom
  up) synthetic route to graphene and graphene/polymer \nnanocomposite\, 
 based on L/L interfaces\, will be presented. Application of these films 
  as i) transparent and flexible electrodes\; ii) electrodes for alkaline
  and ion-Li batteries\; \niii) electrochromic materials\; iv) sensors\; 
 v) active layers in photovoltaic devices\; vi) SERS substrates\; vii) su
 percapacitor and viii) catalysts\, with improved and unusual \nperforman
 ces\, will be presented and discussed in light of the structure and morp
 hology of the nanostructured films.
