Abstract
Practical employment of silicon (Si) electrodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is limited due to the severe volume changes suffered during charging-discharging process, causing serious capacity fading. Here, a composite polymer (CP-10) containing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) and poly-lysine (PL) is proposed for the binder of Si-based anodes, and a multifunctional strategy of "in-situ crosslinking" is achieved to alleviate the severe capacity degradation effectively. A cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) network is established through the strong hydrogen bonding interaction and reversible electrostatic interactions within CP-10, offering favorable mechanical tolerance for the extreme volume expansion of Si. Moreover, hydrogen bonding interaction along with ion-dipole interaction formed between CP-10 and Si surface enhance the bonding capability of Si-based anodes, promoting the maintenance of anodes' integrity. Consequently, over 800 cycles are achieved for the Si@CP-10 at 0.5C while maintaining a fixed discharge specific capacity of 1000 mAh g-1. Moreover, the Si/C@CP-10 can stably operate over 500 cycles with a capacity retention of 77.12 % at 1C. The prolonged cycling lifetime of Si/C and Si anodes suggests great potential for this strategy in promoting the implementation of high-capacity LIBs.

Abstract
Currently, Si (or SiOx, 1 < x < 2) and graphite composite (Si/C) electrodes (e.g., Si/C450 and Si/C600 with specific capacities of 450 and 600 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C, respectively) have become the most promising alternative to traditional graphite anodes toward high-energy lithium-ion battery (LIB) applications by virtue of their higher specific capacity compared to graphite ones and improved cycle performance compared to Si (or SiOx) ones. However, such composite electrodes remain challenging to practical for implementation owing to electrode structure disintegration and interfacial instability caused by a large volume change of inner Si-based particles. Herein, we develop a covalent-bond cross-linking network binder for Si/C450 and Si/C600 electrodes via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The as-developed binder with a 3 mol % cross-linker of other monomers [termed P(SH-BA3%)] achieves improved mechanical and adhesive properties and decreased Si/C anode volume expansion, compared to the linear binder counterpart. Impressively, the P(SH-BA3%) binder at only 3 wt % dosage enables 83.56% capacity retention after 600 cycles at 0.5 C in Si/C450 anode based half-cells and retains 86.42% capacity retention at 0.3 C after 200 cycles and 80.95% capacity retention at 0.5 C after 300 cycles in LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode (15 mg cm-2) based homemade soft package full cells. This work provides insight into binder cross-linking chemistry under limited dosage and enlightens cross-linking binder design toward practical Si/C electrode applications.

Abstract
Si has the highest theoretical capacity (4200 mA h g-1) among conventional anode materials, such as graphite (372 mA h g-1), but its large volume expansion leads to deterioration of the battery performance. To overcome this problem (issue), we investigated the use of polysaccharide-based 3D cross-linked network binders for Si anodes, in which the polysaccharide formed an effective 3D cross-linked network around Si particles via cross-linking of polysaccharide with citric acid (CA). Sodium alginate (SA), a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown algae, is a suitable binder material for Si anodes because its abundant hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups form hydrogen and covalent bonds with the -OH groups present on the Si surface. We found that CA-cross-linked (CA-SA) could effectively prevent the volume expansion of Si anodes through the formation of 3D cross-linked network structures. In addition, the CA-SA binders provide enhanced adhesion strength, enabling the fabrication of more robust electrodes than those prepared using binders with linear structures ("linear binders"). In particular, the fabricated Si-based electrode (high mass loading of 1.5 mg cm-2) with CA-SA binder exhibited outstanding areal capacity (∼2.7 mA h cm-2) and excellent cycle retention (∼100% after 100 cycles).

Abstract
A central challenge in practically using high-capacity silicon (Si) as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries is alleviating significant volume change of Si during cycling. One key to resolving the failure issues of Si is exploiting carefully designed polymer binders exhibiting mechanical robustness to retain the structural integrity of Si electrodes, while concurrently displaying elasticity and toughness to effectively dissipate external stresses exerted by the volume changes of Si. Herein, a highly elastic and tough polymer binder is proposed by interweaving polyacrylic acid (PAA) with poly(urea-urethane) (PUU) elastomer for Si anodes. By systematically tuning molecular parameters, including molecular weights of hard/soft segments and structures of hard segment components, it is demonstrated that the mechanical properties of polymer binders, such as elasticity, toughness, and stress relaxation ability, strongly affect the cycling performance of Si electrodes. This study provides new insight into the rational design of polymer binders capable of accommodating the volume changes of Si, primarily by judicious modulation of the mechanical properties of polymer binders.

Abstract
Polymer binders play an important role in enhancing the electrochemical performance of silicon-based anodes to alleviate the volume expansion for lithium-ion batteries. It is difficult for common one-dimensional (1D) linear binders to limit the volume expansion of a silicon-based electrode when combined with silicon-based particles with scant binding points. Therefore, it is necessary to design a three-dimensional (3D) network structure, which has multiple binding points with the silicon particles to dissipate the mechanical stress in the continuous charge and discharge circulation. Here, a covalent and hydrogen bond synergist 3D network green binder (poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-dextrin 9 (Dex9)) was prepared by the simple in situ thermal condensation of a one-dimensional liner binder PAA and Dex in the electrode fabrication process. The optimized SiOx@PAA-Dex9 electrode exhibits an initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 82.4% at a current density of 0.2 A g-1. At a high current density of 1 A g-1, it retains a capacity of 607 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles, which is approximately twice as high as that of the SiOx@PAA electrode. Furthermore, the results of in situ electrochemical dilatometry (ECD) and characterization of electrode structures demonstrate that the PAA-Dex9 binder can effectively buffer the huge volume change and maintain the integrity of the SiOx electrodes. The research overcomes the low electrochemical stability difficulty of the 3D binder and sheds light on developing the simple fabrication procedure of an electrode.

Abstract
Since their first commercialization in the 1990s,lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become an indispensible part of our everyday life in particular for portable electronic devices. LIBs have been considered as the most promising sustainable high energy density storage device. In recent years, there is a strong demand of LIBs for hybrid electric and electric vehicles to lower carbon footprint and mitigate climate change. However, LIBs have several issues, for example, high cost and safety issues such as over discharge, intolerance to overcharge, high temperature operation etc. To address these issues several new types of electrodes are being studied. Traditional binder PVDF is costly, difficult to recyle, undergoes side reactions at high temperature and cannot stabilize high energy density electrodes. To overcome these challenges, diiferent binders have been introduced with these electrodes. This minireview is focused on the application of guar gum as a binder for different electrodes and separator. The electrochemical performance of electrodes with guar gum has been compared with other binders.

Abstract
Silicon is considered the most promising candidate for anode material in lithium-ion batteries due to the high theoretical capacity. Unfortunately, the vast volume change and low electric conductivity have limited the application of silicon anodes. In the silicon anode system, the binders are essential for mechanical and conductive integrity. However, there are few reviews to comprehensively introduce binders from the perspective of factors affecting performance and modification methods, which are crucial to the development of binders. In this review, several key factors that have great impact on binders' performance are summarized, including molecular weight, interfacial bonding, and molecular structure. Moreover, some commonly used modification methods for binders are also provided to control these influencing factors and obtain the binders with better performance. Finally, to overcome the existing problems and challenges about binders, several possible development directions of binders are suggested.

Abstract
Alginate is an important natural biopolymer and has been widely used in the food, biomedical, and chemical industries. Ca2+-induced gelation is one of the most important functional properties of alginate. The gelation mechanism is well-known as egg-box model, which has been intensively studied in the last five decades. Alginate also forms gels with many other monovalent, divalent or trivalent cations, and their gelation can possess different mechanisms from that of Ca2+-induced gelation. The resulted gels also exhibit different properties that lead to various applications. This study is proposed to summarize the gelation mechanisms of alginate induced by different cations, mainly including H+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Cu2+, Sr2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Al3+, and Fe3+. The mechanism of H+-induced gelation of alginate mainly depends on the protonation of carboxyl groups. Divalent ions-induced gelation of alginate show different selection towards G, M, and GM blocks. Trivalent ions can bind to carboxyl groups of uronates with no selection. The properties and applications of these ionotropic alginate gels are also discussed. The knowledge gained in this study would provide useful information for the practical applications of alginate.

Abstract
Silicon has been considered as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries owing to its extraordinarily high capacity. However, the huge volume expansion during cycling results in severe pulverization and disintegration of active materials, especially when the particle size is in microscale. This challenge can be addressed by highly stretchable polymer binders engineered with helical polysaccharides. The elaborately designed binder presents excellent stretchability and adhesive property, which can buffer the strain caused by the large volume change and coalesce the pulverized silicon fragments without disintegration. As a result, the microsized silicon electrode exhibits high initial Coulombic efficiency of 91.8 % and excellent cycling stability for 300 cycles. Importantly, when paired with a commercial LiCoO2 cathode, the full cell manifests a high areal capacity of 3.02 mAh cm-2 and superior stability for 100 cycles. Our contribution paves the way to the practical application of microsized silicon for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Silicon anodes have attracted much attention owing to their high theoretical capacity. Nonetheless, an inevitable and enormous volumetric expansion of silicon in the lithiated state restrained the development of the silicon anode for lithium-ion batteries. Fortunately, the utilization of the high-performance binder is a promising and effective way to overcome such obstacles. Herein, a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM) is applied as the binder for the silicon anode, which is composed of a rigid polymer backbone, an intrinsic porous structure, and active carboxyl groups (PIM-COOH). Compared to the traditional binder, both the long-term stability and rate performance of the electrode using PIM-COOH as the binder are significantly improved. The mechanism responsible for the enhanced performance is investigated. The PIM-COOH binder provides stronger adhesion toward the current collector than the conventional binders. The unique rigid polymer backbone and porous structure of the PIM-COOH binder enable a good capability to withstand the volume change and external stress generated by the Si anode. The porous structure of the PIM-COOH binder enhances lithium-ion transportation compared to the SA binder, which improves rate performance of the silicon anode. This work provides a unique insight into design, synthesis, and utilization of the binders for lithium-ion batteries.
