Theoretical simulation of the optimal relation between active material, binder and conductive additive for lithium-ion battery cathodes

Recycling and environmental issues of lithium-ion batteries: Advances, challenges and opportunities

“…Higher BS/CM ratios increase the interfacial resistance [41]. Higher AM proportions at the cathode lead to higher battery capacities, while at the anode ensure the lithium-ion storage capacity [42]. Thus, typical cathode compositions contain AM proportions in the range between 60 and 95%, CM around 2 to 25% and BS around 3 to 30% [42].…”

Recent Advances on Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries

“…Between the electrodes, a polymeric porous membrane, the separator, is placed to avoid the physical contact, preventing short circuits. The separator is typically soaked in an electrolyte solution, which increases the ionic conductivity of the system, allowing for an easier Li + diffusion [21]. More recently, this design of the separator/electrolyte system is being replaced by a solid electrolyte, which combines the physical barrier function of the separator and the high ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, allowing the elimination of the liquid components from the battery structure [22].…”

Metal–organic frameworks and zeolite materials as active fillers for lithium-ion battery solid polymer electrolytes

“…The separator is placed between the electrodes and is usually a polymeric porous membrane. 11 The separator plays a key role in the battery, as it works as a physical barrier between the electrodes, avoiding the occurrence of short circuits during the operation. A good separator must possess thermal, mechanical and thermal stability 12 and must show high electronic resistance and high ionic conductivity to the Li + flow.…”
