“…Even though CPs are considered to be promising electrode material individually, they suffer from low solubility, poor processability and low cyclic stability towards repeated oxidation and reduction cycle [22]. There have been extensive studies to counter the drawbacks associated with CPs and some of them, focussing on the synthesis of composites with metal oxides [3], carbon materials [1,23], metal nano-particles [4,14,24], co-polymerisation [25][26][27], using surfactants [28] and blending CPs with hydrogels and other polymer matrices [29].…”
