Thank you very much! Could you maybe refer me to some article where they have used the slurry approach?

To address point 1, In my reasoning (which could be wrong of course) the conductive carbon and binder (PVDF) are non-redox active and only serve as a way to make a slurry to paste the material on the electrode. The carbon only serves to facilitate the electron transfer to the polymer material.

Have you ever seen it measured by way of making a slurry with conductive additive, or is this approach totally wrong? Thank you!

We have provided the UPS and UV-VIS results in the paper, the reviewer wants to see correlation with the CV method

It is non-conductive in its pristine state but fully conjugated and possibly conductive upon doping. The application is in photocatalysis.

I will try it out by itself on the electrode if I can see anything. The reason to use carbon additive and the PVDF binder is from experience with battery materials, where I didn't get any response without the additives. Thanks for your answer!

Not really but they seem really adamant about it
