Abstract
The development of rechargeable lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology has facilitated the shift toward electric vehicles and grid storage solutions. This technology is currently undergoing significant development to meet industrial applications for portable electronics and provide our society with "greener" electricity. The large increase in LIB production following the growing demand from the automotive sector has led to the establishment of gigafactories worldwide, thus increasing the substantial consumption of fossil-based and non-sustainable materials, such as polyvinylidene fluoride and/or styrene-butadiene rubber as binders in cathode and anode formulations. Furthermore, the use of raw resources, such as Li, Ni, and Mn in cathode active materials and graphite and nanosilicon in anodes, necessitates further efforts to enhance battery efficiency. To foster a global sustainable transition in LIB manufacturing and reduce reliance on non-sustainable materials, the implementation of bio-based binder solutions for electrodes in LIBs is crucial. Bio-based binders such as cellulose, lignin, alginate, gums, starch, and others can address environmental concerns and can enhance LIBs' performance. This review aims to provide an overview of the current progress in the development and application of bio-based binders for LIB electrode manufacturing, highlighting their significance toward sustainable development.

Abstract
Problematic issues with electrically inert binders have been less serious in the conventional lithium-ion batteries by virtue of permeable liquid electrolytes (LEs) for ionic connection and/or carbonaceous additives for electronic connection in the electrodes. Contrary to electron-conductive binders used to maximize an active loading level, the development of ion-conductive binders has been lacking owing to the LE-filled electrode configuration. Herein, we represent a tactical strategy for improving the interfacial Li+ conduction in all-solid-state electrolyte-free graphite (EFG) electrodes where the solid electrolytes are entirely excluded, using lithium-substitution-modulated (LSM) binders. Finely tuning a lithium substitution ratio, a conductive LSM-carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) binder is prepared from a controlled direct Na+/Li+ exchange reaction without a hazardous acid involvement. The EFG electrode employing LSM with a maximum degree of substitution of lithium (DSLi) of ∼68% in our study shows a considerably higher rate capability of 1.05 mA h cm-2 at 1 C and a capacity retention of ∼61.9% after 200 cycles at 0.5 C than those using sodium-CMC (Na-CMC) (0.78 mA h cm-2, ∼49.5%) and LSM with ∼35% lithium substitution (0.93 mA h cm-2, ∼55.4%). More importantly, the correlation between the phase transition near the bottom region of the EFG electrode and the state of charge (SOC) is systematically investigated, clarifying that the improvement of the interfacial conduction is proportional to the DSLi of the CMC binders. Theoretical calculations combined with experimental results further verify that creating the continuous interface through abundant pathways for mobile ions using the Li+-conductive binder is the enhancement mechanism of the interfacial conduction in the EFG electrode, mitigating serious charge transfer resistance.
