No carbon added: Using the intrinsic oxidative power of LiFePO4/FePO4 combined with the reinsertion of lithium ions, the formation of the conducting polymer poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) at the solid surface is demonstrated (see picture). The resulting composites have very promising electrochemical properties in rechargeable lithium batteries; in particular, they allow for the elimination of carbon additives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
