A water-soluble conductive binder consisting of poly-3,4-
ethylenedioxythiophene:polysterne sulfonate and carboxymethyl
cellulose was proposed for conversion Co3O4 anode material. This
type of electrode shows ultrahigh specific capacity value and
brilliant C-rate capability in comparison with Co3O4 electrode with
poly(acrylic acid) and carboxymethyl cellulose was used. It also
demonstrates better stability during continuous cycling at 0.2 C.
Long-term cycling voltammetry measurements show that using of
conducting polymer as binder component lead to superior stability
of the Co3O4 electrodes.
