Abstract:
This study reports the electrochemical applications of CoV2O4 as a novel anode for lithium-ion batteries. Ex situ analyses were performed to understand the conversion that transpires during the charge-discharge cycle. Also, the effects of different binders were analyzed. With the synergistic effect of Na-carboxymethyl cellulose and styrene butadiene rubber (CMC and SBR), a reversible capacity of 727.5 mA h g-1 was obtained after 100 cycles which indicates potential applications of CoV2O4 in energy storage devices.

Microsoft Excel: Plotting Mean, SD, and SE
First, calculate the mean, SD, and SE of your data. The mean is obtained using the formula `=AVERAGE(range)`, while SD can be calculated with `=STDEV.P(range)` for a population or `=STDEV.S(range)` for a sample. SE is calculated as `=SD/SQRT(n)`, where `n` is the sample size.
To plot these values, use a bar...
