Abstract: Compositions that can be used in producing electrodes (e.g., battery electrodes) and related methods are disclosed. As one example, a composition, includes carbonaceous particles; a dispersant; a polymer comprising a maleic anhydride moiety; and a solvent. The carbonaceous particles can include carbon black, graphite, acetylene black, graphenes, graphenes-related materials, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanostructures, activated carbons, carbon aerogels, templated carbons, and/or carbon fibers.
