Exploring the Synergistic Effects of Inactive Materials and Processing on Aqueous Fabrication of Poly(3-Vinyl-N-Methylphenothiazine) Positive Electrodes for Lithium-Organic Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Organic redox-active electrode materials are gaining increasing attention due to their eco-friendliness, abundance, and structural versatility. However, their processing typically depends on poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVdF) as binder and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent, both are expensive and hazardous. While aqueous processing methods are well established for inorganic electrodes, their application to organic materials remains largely unexplored. This study investigates the use of water-processable binders, specifically sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) for fabricating poly(3-vinyl-N-methylphenothiazine) electrodes. Key factors influencing electrode performance and microstructure were systematically studied, including the choice of conduc
