“…Additionally, there is vast number of possibilities to improve the electrical conductivity of CB composites with tertiary particle structures, to modify the surfaces of CB with hydrophilic or hydrophobic polymers, i.e. hydrophilic poly(sodium-4-styrene sulfonate) [267,268], and pH responsive polymers such as poly(acrylamide-co-vinylamine) [269], for suspending these particles in water, or organic solvents, and dope the surfaces with redox active coatings [133,207,260] to increase the energy storage by pseudocapacitive contribution in EFC [270]. Besides ensuring good electrical conductivity, the ability to tailor interparticle and particle-electrolyte interactions, and potentially slurry viscosity for modulated charge-discharge cycles, further increase interest for CB in emerging energy storage technologies [262,264,270].…”
