Electrochemically polymerized polymers from pyrrole, fluoranthene and pyrene were heat-treated at temperatures between 600 to 3000 °C. The electrochemical properties of these heat-treated samples were examined by chronoamperometry using an electrolyte solution of IM LiClO4 in propylene carbonate. Lithium doping capacities of carbons from fluoranthene and pyrrole polymer heat-treated at 3000 °C were 1.5 and 1.2 times that of the theoretical capacity of graphite as LiC6, respectively.
