An overview of feasibilities and challenge of conductive cellulose for rechargeable lithium based battery

The interest in cellulose and its modification has been exponentially increasing. The outstanding properties of cellulose were evident due to high stiffness, high chemical resistance, low co-efficient of thermal expansion as well as high aspect ratio. Up to the present time, in order to support clean technology, the use of cellulose has been extensively gained many interests for many sectors of research. Cellulose was therefore modified to enhance its conductivity. The example was due to design cellulose based composite with conductive polymer and doping on small amount of metallic particle and active carbon. In this review, the objective of article was focused on the modification on conductivity of cellulose. The application on conductive cellulose was therefore presented in rechargeable lithium based battery.
