[PMID: 38257053 PMCID: PMC10821008 DOI: 10.3390/polym16020254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The design of binders plays a pivotal role in achieving enduring high power in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and extending their overall lifespan. This review underscores the indispensable characteristics that a binder must possess when utilized in LIBs, considering factors such as electrochemical, thermal, and dispersion stability, compatibility with electrolytes, solubility in solvents, mechanical properties, and conductivity. In the case of anode materials, binders with robust mechanical properties and elasticity are imperative to uphold electrode integrity, particularly in materials subjected to substantial volume changes. For cathode materials, the selection of a binder hinges on the crystal structure of the cathode material. Other vital considerations in binder design encompass cost effectiveness, adhesion, processability, and environmental friendliness. Incorporating low-cost, eco-friendly, and biodegradable polymers can significantly contribute to sustainable battery development. This review serves as an invaluable resource for comprehending the prerequisites of binder design in high-performance LIBs and offers insights into binder selection for diverse electrode materials. The findings and principles articulated in this review can be extrapolated to other advanced battery systems, charting a course for developing next-generation batteries characterized by enhanced performance and sustainability.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2302388.

Abstract
A promising anode material for Li-ion batteries, silicon (Si) suffers from volume expansion-induced pulverization and solid electrolyte interface (SEI) instability. Microscale Si with high tap density and high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) has become a more anticipated choice, but it will exacerbate the above issues. In this work, the polymer polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-lithium bis (allylmalonato) borate (PSLB) is constructed by in situ chelation on microscale Si surfaces via click chemistry. This polymerized nanolayer has an "organic/inorganic hybrid flexible cross-linking" structure that can accommodate the volume change of Si. Under the stable framework formed by PSLB, a large number of oxide anions on the chain segment preferentially adsorb LiPF6 and further induce the integration of inorganic-rich, dense SEI, which improves the mechanical stability of SEI and provides accelerated kinetics for Li+ transfer. Therefore, the Si4@PSLB anode exhibits significantly enhanced long-cycle performance. After 300 cycles at 1 A g-1 , it can still provide a specific capacity of 1083 mAh g-1 . Cathode-coupled with LiNi0.9 Co0.05 Mn0.05 O2 (NCM90) in the full cell retains 80.8% of its capacity after 150 cycles at 0.5 C.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is considered the most promising anode material for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high theoretical specific capacity and abundant reserves. However, the volume expansion of silicon in the cycling process causes the destruction of the electrode structure and irreversible capacity loss. As a result, the commercial application of silicon materials is greatly hindered. In recent years, siloxane-based organosilicon materials have been widely used in silicon anode of LIBs because of their unique structure and physical and chemical properties, and have shown excellent electrochemical properties. The comprehensive achievement of siloxanes in silicon-based LIBs can be understood better through a systematic summary, which is necessary to guide the design of electrodes and achieve better electrochemical performance. This paper systematically introduces the unique advantages of siloxane materials in electrode, surface/interface modification, binder, and electrolyte. The challenges and future directions for siloxane materials are presented to enhance their performance and expand their application in silicon-based LIBs.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have helped revolutionize the modern world and are now advancing the alternative energy field. Several technical challenges are associated with LIBs, such as increasing their energy density, improving their safety, and prolonging their lifespan. Pressed by these issues, researchers are striving to find effective solutions and new materials for next-generation LIBs. Polymers play a more and more important role in satisfying the ever-increasing requirements for LIBs. Polyimides (PIs), a special functional polymer, possess unparalleled advantages, such as excellent mechanical strength, extremely high thermal stability, and excellent chemical inertness; they are a promising material for LIBs. Herein, we discuss the current applications of PIs in LIBs, including coatings, separators, binders, solid-state polymer electrolytes, and active storage materials, to improve high-voltage performance, safety, cyclability, flexibility, and sustainability. Existing technical challenges are described, and strategies for solving current issues are proposed. Finally, potential directions for implementing PIs in LIBs are outlined.

Abstract
This study investigates the significance of the mechanics of hybrid particle-polymer separators in the stabilization of lithium metal interfaces by probing these properties in realistic conditions informed by X-ray microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Elastic properties and viscoelastic behavior of inorganic microparticle-filled poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) films are characterized using a nanoindentation experiment whose displacement simulates the interfacial response seen in operando micro-CT. It is determined that the dominating mechanical behavior in this hybrid separator relevant to lithium metal cell conditions is comprised of viscoelasticity. Consistent with this finding, along with correlations across other physicochemical properties, a mechanism describing the improvement of lithium metal cycling performance according to inorganic filler type and content is proposed.

Abstract
SiOx is an attractive anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its considerable capacity. However, its obvious volume expansion and low conductivity result in poor electrochemical performance. Herein, a novel single-phase nanotube structure with uniform distribution of nanoscale SiOx units and amorphous carbon matrix was fabricated. The hollow nanotube and homogeneously distributed ultrafine SiOx units greatly alleviate volume changes. The amorphous carbon facilitates electron transport throughout the network and offers a buffer to further reduce the volume expansion of SiOx. Benefiting from this unique structure, as-prepared single-phase SiOx/C NTs demonstrate excellent durability and rate capability. Specifically, it delivers a high reversible specific capacity (713 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 200 cycles); negligible capacity decay is confirmed after 500 cycles at high density current (544 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 500 cycles).
