The optimization of CMC concentration as graphite binder on the anode of LiFePO₄ battery

Ionically conducting inorganic binders: a paradigm shift in electrochemical energy storage

“…Several eco-friendly and water processable binders have been reported as alternatives to PVDF; among them, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC), sodium polyacrylate (NaPAA), and sodium alginate (NaALG) are in wide use [8][9][10] . NaCMC is used in commercial applications as a binder for graphite 11,12 . It is aqueous processable and eco-friendly, but it has low thermal stability and produces gaseous species during decomposition (Fig.…”

Aqueous Processing of Na0.44MnO2 Cathode Material for the Development of Greener Na-Ion Batteries

“…Hence, N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), which is typically used as solvent for the conventional binder PVdF, can be replaced. This is a great benefit because NMP is harmful and toxic and, thus, needs to be carefully recycled. , The use of CMC as binder has been extensively studied for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) − and Li–S batteries, showing interesting properties such as improved cyclability, decreased charge transfer resistance, and increased Li + diffusion coefficients compared to the PVdF-based electrodes that have been achieved . Many examples of CMC-based electrodes have been reported for anode materials for Na-ion batteries (NIBs). − In contrast, only very little information is available about the use of CMC in positive electrodes for NIBs. , In fact, many employed cathode materials in NIBs are sensitive toward water, ,, which limits the applicability of water-soluble binders.…”

Polymers in Lithium‐Ion and Lithium Metal Batteries

“…However, if the composite had more than 2% CMC, the conductivity of the mixture was reduced, because CMC was used as an insulator. [193] Another way to improve the performance of graphite anodes is to utilize novel functional binders to simultaneously enhance cycle life and lower cost. Drofenik et al illustrated that gelatinbased polymers could be a good candidate for future graphite anodes due to its excellent binding strength.…”
