Abstract
CPs have been investigated for a very wide variety of battery applications, although mostly for secondary (rechargeable) batteries. They have been used as the anode as well as the cathode material, although cathode materials in Li secondary batteries have overwhelmingly been the main focus of interest. Applications have included allCP (anode/cathode) batteries [685], lead-acid batteries [686], Zn batteries [687] and others. Although poly(aniline) (P(ANi)) and poly(pyrrole) (P(Py)) have overwhelmingly been the primary focus of interest, other common CPs studied have included poly(p-phenylene) (P(PP)), poly(acetylene) (P(Ac)), poly(thiophene) (P(T)).
