In addition, some non-co. polymer or layered organic materials have also been explored as promising organic electrodes for LIBs.
However, the small reversible capacity, the dissolution of electrically active species into organic electrolyte and the poor conductivity of organic electrode materials are serious problems that limit the development of organic electrode materials.
