[PMID: 38880451 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
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
Solid-state batteries are increasingly centre-stage for delivering more energy-dense, safer batteries to follow current lithium-ion rechargeable technologies. At the same time, wearable electronics powered by flexible batteries have experienced rapid technological growth. This perspective discusses the role that polymer design plays in their use as solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and as binders, coatings and interlayers to address issues in solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs). We also consider the value of tunable polymer flexibility, added capacity, skin compatibility and end-of-use degradability of polymeric materials in wearable technologies such as smartwatches and health monitoring devices. While many years have been spent on SPE development for batteries, delivering competitive performances to liquid and ISEs requires a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of ion transport in solid polymers. Advanced polymer design, including controlled (de)polymerisation strategies, precision dynamic chemistry and digital learning tools, might help identify these missing fundamental gaps towards faster, more selective ion transport. Regardless of the intended use as an electrolyte, composite electrode binder or bulk component in flexible electrodes, many parallels can be drawn between the various intrinsic polymer properties. These include mechanical performances, namely elasticity and flexibility; electrochemical stability, particularly against higher-voltage electrode materials; durable adhesive/cohesive properties; ionic and/or electronic conductivity; and ultimately, processability and fabrication into the battery. With this, we assess the latest developments, providing our views on the prospects of polymers in batteries and wearables, the challenges they might address, and emerging polymer chemistries that are still relatively under-utilised in this area.

Abstract
Energy storage devices with high power and energy density are in demand owing to the rapidly growing population, and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are promising rechargeable energy storage devices. However, there are many issues associated with the development of electrode materials with a high theoretical capacity, which need to be addressed before their commercialization. Extensive research has focused on the modification and structural design of electrode materials, which are usually expensive and sophisticated. Besides, polymer binders are pivotal components for maintaining the structural integrity and stability of electrodes in LIBs. Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) is a commercial binder with superior electrochemical stability, but its poor adhesion, insufficient mechanical properties, and low electronic and ionic conductivity hinder its wide application as a high-capacity electrode material. In this review, we highlight the recent progress in developing different polymeric materials (based on natural polymers and synthetic non-conductive and electronically conductive polymers) as binders for the anodes and cathodes in LIBs. The influence of the mechanical, adhesion, and self-healing properties as well as electronic and ionic conductivity of polymers on the capacity, capacity retention, rate performance and cycling life of batteries is discussed. Firstly, we analyze the failure mechanisms of binders based on the operation principle of lithium-ion batteries, introducing two models of "interface failure" and "degradation failure". More importantly, we propose several binder parameters applicable to most lithium-ion batteries and systematically consider and summarize the relationships between the chemical structure and properties of the binder at the molecular level. Subsequently, we select silicon and sulfur active electrode materials as examples to discuss the design principles of the binder from a molecular structure point of view. Finally, we present our perspectives on the development directions of binders for next-generation high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. We hope that this review will guide researchers in the further design of novel efficient binders for lithium-ion batteries at the molecular level, especially for high energy density electrode materials.

Abstract
Fast-charging batteries are highly sought after. However, the current battery industry has used carbon as the preferred anode, which can suffer from dendrite formation problems at high current density, causing failure after prolonged cycling and posing safety hazards. The phosphorus (P) anode is being considered as a promising successor to graphite due to its safe lithiation potential, low ion diffusion energy barrier, and high theoretical storage capacity. Since 2019, fast-charging P-based anodes have realized the goals of extreme fast charging (XFC), which enables a 10 min recharging time to deliver a capacity retention larger than 80%. Rechargeable battery technologies that use P-based anodes, along with high-capacity conversion-type cathodes or high-voltage insertion-type cathodes, have thus garnered substantial attention from both the academic and industry communities. In spite of this activity, there remains a rather sparse range of high-performance and fast-charging P-based cell configurations. Herein, we first systematically examine four challenges for fast-charging P-based anodes, including the volumetric variation during the cycling process, the electrode interfacial instability, the dissolution of polyphosphides, and the long-lasting P/electrolyte side reactions. Next, we summarize a range of strategies with the potential to circumvent these challenges and rationally control electrochemical reaction processes at the P anode. We also consider both binders and electrode structures. We also propose other remaining issues and corresponding strategies for the improvement and understanding of the fast-charging P anode. Finally, we review and discuss the existing full cell configurations based on P anodes and forecast the potential feasibility of recycling spent P-based full cells according to the trajectory of recent developments in batteries. We hope this review affords a fresh perspective on P science and engineering toward fast-charging energy storage devices.

Abstract
Macrocycles composed of diverse aromatic or nonaromatic structures, such as cyclodextrins (CDs), calixarenes (CAs), cucurbiturils (CBs), and pillararenes (PAs), have garnered significant attention due to their inherent advantages of possessing cavity structures, unique functional groups, and facile modification. Due to these distinctive features enabling them to facilitate ion insertion and extraction, form crosslinked porous structures, offer multiple redox-active sites, and engage in host-guest interactions, macrocycles have made huge contributions to electrochemical energy storage and conversion (EES/EEC). Here, we have summarized the recent advancements and challenges in the utilization of CDs, CAs, CBs, and PAs as well as other novel macrocycles applied in EES/EEC devices. The molecular structure, properties, and modification strategies are discussed along with the corresponding energy density, specific capacity, and cycling life properties in detail. Finally, crucial limitations and future research directions pertaining to these macrocycles in electrochemical energy storage and conversion are addressed. It is hoped that this review is able to inspire interest and enthusiasm in researchers to investigate macrocycles and promote their applications in EES/EEC.

Abstract
Functional polymers can be used as electrolyte and binder materials in solid-state batteries. This often requires performance targets in terms of both the transport and mechanical properties. In this work, a model ionic conductive polymer system, i.e., poly(ethylene oxide)-LiTFSI, was used to study the impact of salt concentrations on mechanical properties, including different types of elastic moduli and the viscoelasticity with both nonequilibrium and equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. We found an encouragingly good agreement between experiments and simulations regarding Young's modulus, bulk modulus, and viscosity. In addition, we identified an intermediate salt concentration at which the system shows high ionic conductivity, high Young's modulus, and short elastic restoration time. Therefore, this study laid the groundwork for investigating ionic conductive polymer binders with self-healing functionality from molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract
Electronic devices with multiple features bring in comfort to the way we live. However, repeated use causes physical as well as chemical degradation reducing their lifetime. The self-healing ability is the most crucial property of natural systems for survival in unexpected situations and variable environments. However, this self-repair property is not possessed by the conventional electronic devices designed today. To expand their lifetime and make them reliable by restoring their mechanical, functional, and electrical properties, self-healing materials are a great go-to option to create robust devices. In this review the intriguing self-healing polymers and fascinating mechanism of self-healable energy harvesting devices such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) and storage devices like supercapacitors and batteries from the aspect of electrodes and electrolytes in the past five years are reviewed. The current challenges, strategies, and perspectives for a smart and sustainable future are also discussed.

Abstract
The structure instability and cycling decay of silicon (Si) anode triggered by stress buildup hinder its practical application to next-generation high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, a cross-linking polymeric network as a self-healing binder for Si anode is developed by in situ polymerization of tannic acid (TA) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) binder labelled as TA-c-PAA. The branched TA as a physical cross-linker complexes with PAA main chains through abundant dynamic hydrogen bonds, endowing the cross-linking TA-c-PAA binder with unique self-healing property and strong adhesion for Si anode. Benefiting from the mechanical robust and hard adhesion, the Si@TA-c-PAA electrode exhibits high reversible specific capacities (3250 mAh/g at 0.05C (1C = 4000 mA g-1)), excellent rate capability (1599 mAh/g at 2C), and impressive cycling stability (1742 mAh/g at 0.25C after 450 cycles). After Ex situ morphology characterization, in situ swelling analysis, and finite element simulation, it is found that the TA-c-PAA binder allows the Si anode to dissipate stress and prevent pulverization during lithiation and delithiation, thus the hydrogen bonds among interpenetrating network may be adaptable to the stress intensity. Our work paves a new avenue for the design of efficient and cost-effective binders for next-generation Si anode in LIBs.

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.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 652:971-978. [PMID: 37634370 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.08.071] [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: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
Silicon (Si) is considered a high-capacity anode material with potential for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the commercial application of Si anode is seriously hindered by huge volume variation (>300%) and limited Li+ diffusion ability. Herein, lithium metasilicate (LS), a novel inorganic binder, was innovatively developed to accommodate these challenges. Favorable compatibility is observed between the LS binder and Si nanoparticles (SiNPs) due to the existence of Si element within the LS skeleton. The interaction of the LS binder and SiNPs leads to a strong adhesion effect, enhancing the cycling stability of Si anode. The Si electrode with the LS binder presented an average discharge capacity of 2123 mAh/g at 0.84 A/g after 100 cycles. Furthermore, the presence of the Li+ transport channel within the LS binder enhances Li+ diffusion ability within Si anode. As a result, the average discharge capacity reaches 663 mAh/g at 8.4 A/g. This work thus explored new inorganic binder design approaches for Si anode, contributing to the advancement of high-performance Si anode.

Abstract
Due to their high energy and power density, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have gained popularity in response to the demand for effective energy storage solutions. The importance of the electrode architecture in determining battery performance highlights the demand for optimization. By developing useful organic polymers, cyclodextrin architectures have been investigated to improve the performance of Li-based batteries. The macrocyclic oligosaccharides known as cyclodextrins (CDs) have relatively hydrophobic cavities that can enclose other molecules. There are many industries where this "host-guest" relationship has been found useful. The hydrogen bonding and suitable inner cavity diameter of CD have led to its selection as a lithium-ion diffusion channel. CDs have also been used as solid electrolytes for solid-state batteries and as separators and binders to ensure adhesion between electrode components. This review gives a general overview of CD-based materials and how they are used in battery components, highlighting their advantages.

Abstract
The use of silicon (Si) as a lithium-ion battery's (LIBs) anode active material has been a popular subject of research, due to its high theoretical specific capacity (4200 mAh g-1). However, the volume of Si undergoes a huge expansion (300%) during the charging and discharging process of the battery, resulting in the destruction of the anode's structure and the rapid decay of the battery's energy density, which limits the practical application of Si as the anode active material. Lithium-ion batteries' capacity, lifespan, and safety can be increased through the efficient mitigation of Si volume expansion and the maintenance of the stability of the electrode's structure with the employment of polymer binders. The main degradation mechanism of Si-based anodes and the methods that have been reported to effectively solve the Si volume expansion problem firstly are introduced. Then, the review demonstrates the representative research work on the design and development of new Si-based anode binders to improve the cycling stability of Si-based anode structure from the perspective of binders, and finally concludes by summarizing and outlining the progress of this research direction.

Abstract
Hydrogels based on the supramolecular host-guest concept can be prepared if at least one constituent is a polymer chain modified with supramolecular host or guest (or both) units. Low-molecular-weight multitopic counterparts can also be used, however, guest molecules in the role of cross-linking agents are seldom reported, although such an approach offers wide-ranging possibilities for tuning the system properties via easily achievable structural modifications. In this paper, a series of adamantane-based star-like guest molecules was used for cross-linking of two types of β-cyclodextrin-modified hyaluronan (CD-HA). The prepared 3D supramolecular networks were characterised using nuclear magnetic resonance, titration calorimetry and rheological measurements to confirm the formation of the host-guest complexes between adamantane moieties and β-cyclodextrin units, including their typical properties such as self-healing and dynamic nature. The results indicate that the nature of the cross-linker (amides versus esters) has a greater impact on mechanical properties than the length of the guest's arms. In addition, the results show that the length of the HA polymer chain is more important than the degree of modification with supramolecular units. In conclusion, it was proven that the modular concept employing low-molecular-weight cross-linking guests is valuable for the formulation of supramolecular networks, including hydrogels.

Abstract
Silicon is expected to become the ideal anode material for the next generation of high energy density lithium battery because of its high theoretical capacity (4200 mAh g-1 ). However, for silicon electrodes, the initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) is low and the volume of the electrode changes by over 300% after lithiation. The capacity of the silicon electrode decreases rapidly during cycling, hindering the practical application. In this work, a slidable and highly ionic conductive flexible polymer binder with a specific single-ion structure (abbreviated as SSIP) is presented in which polyrotaxane acts as a dynamic crosslinker. The ionic conducting network is expected to reduce the overall resistance, improve ICE and stabilize the electrode interface. Furthermore, the introduction of slidable polyrotaxane increases the reversible dynamics of the binder and improves the long-term cycling stability and rate performance. The silicon anode based on SSIP provides a discharge capacity of ≈1650 mAh g-1 after 400 cycles at 0.5C with a high ICE of upto 92.0%. Additionally, the electrode still exhibits a high ICE of 87.5% with an ultra-high Si loading of 3.84 mg cm-2 and maintains a satisfying areal capacity of 5.9 mAh cm-2 after 50 cycles, exhibiting the potential application of SSIP in silicon-based anodes.

Abstract
Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) are used in many electrochemical energy storage/conversion devices owing to their favorable physical properties. Therefore, PIL binders have been examined as polymeric binders for electrodes in energy storage systems (ESSs) and have shown superior performance. Several innovative technologies have been developed to improve the properties of polymers, with cross-linking being the most effective and easy strategy to achieve this. In this study, we designed a breakthrough complex cross-linking and composite technique that could successfully develop the physical properties of a polymer in a simple one-step process. Additionally, the technique could improve the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the polymer. The proposed polymeric binder showed better adhesion, higher capacitance, and good energy density with improved cyclic stability compared to that shown by conventional polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). This study revealed that cross-linked networks in polymeric binders are long-cycle-life features for electrochemical redox capacitors.

Abstract
The inner constituents of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are easy to deform during charging and discharging processes, and the accumulation of these deformations would result in physical fractures, poor safety performances, and short lifespan of LIBs. Recent studies indicate that the introduction of self-healing (SH) materials into electrodes or electrolytes can bring about great enhancements in their mechanical strength, thus optimizing the cycle stability of the batteries. Due to the self-healing property of these special functional materials, the fractures/cracks generated during repeated cycles could be spontaneously cured. This review systematically summarizes the mechanisms of self-healing strategies and introduces the applications of SH materials in LIBs, especially from the aspects of electrodes and electrolytes. Finally, the challenges and the opportunities of the future research as well as the potential of applications are presented to promote the research of this field.

Abstract
The design of a novel binder is required for high-capacity silicon anodes, which typically undergo significant changes during charge/discharge cycling. Hence, in this study, a stable network structure was formed by combining tannic acid (TAc), which can be cross-linked, and poly(acrylic acid)(PAA) as an effective binder for a silicon (Si) anode. TAc is a phenolic compound and representative substance with antioxidant properties. Owing to the antioxidant ability of the C-PAA/TAc binder, side reactions during the cycling were suppressed during the formation of an appropriate solid-electrolyte interface layer. The results showed that the expansion of a silicon anode was suppressed compared with that of a conventional PAA binder. This study demonstrates that cross-linking and antioxidant capability facilitate binding and provides insights into the behavior of binders for silicon anodes. The Si anode with the C-PAA/TAc binder exhibited significantly improved cycle stability and higher Coulombic efficiency in comparison to the Si anode with well-established PAA binders. The C-PAA/TAc binder demonstrated a capacity of 1833 mA h g-1Si for 100 cycles, which is higher than that of electrodes fabricated using the conventional PAA binder. Therefore, the C-PAA/TAc binder offers better electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Silicon suboxides (SiOx) have been widely concerned as a practical anode material for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to their relatively high theoretical capacity and lower volume change compared to silicon (Si). Nevertheless, traditional binder poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) still cannot hold the integrity of the SiOx particle due to its weak van der Waals force. Herein, a copolymer binder for SiOx microparticles is synthesized through a facile method of free radical polymerization between acrylamide (AM) and acrylic acid (AA). By adjusting the mass ratio of the AM/AA monomer, the copolymer binder can generate a covalent-noncovalent network with superior elastic properties from the synergistic effect. During electrochemical testing, the SiOx anode with the optimal copolymer binder (AM/AA = 3:1) delivered a reversible capacity of 734 mAh g-1 (two times that of commercial graphite) at 0.5C after 300 cycles. Thus, this work developed a green and effective strategy for synthesizing a water-soluble binder for Si-based anodes.

Abstract
Polyacrylic acid (PAA) is a promising binder for the high-capacity Si anode. However, the one-dimensional structure of PAA could cause the linear molecular chains to slide from the Si surface during the charge-discharge processes, leading to insufficient suppression of the massive volume expansion of the Si anode. Herein, a soft-rigid dual chains' network of PAA-sodium silicate (PAA-SS) was successfully constructed by cross-linking PAA and SS in situ at room temperature. The soft chains of PAA and the rigid chains of polysilicic acid synergistically ensure the enhanced adhesion property and mechanical strength. Therefore, the Si electrode with PAA-SS binder delivers a discharge capacity of 1559 mAh/g after 150 cycles at 4.2 A/g (1C) with an initial Coulombic efficiency of 93.2%. Moreover, the PAA-SS based SiC-500 electrode exhibits a discharge capacity of 441 mAh/g with the capacity retention of 88.2% after 500 cycles at 0.5 A/g, implying the PAA-SS binder's great industrial prospect in Si based electrodes.

Abstract
Tackling the huge volume expansion of silicon (Si) anode desires a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) to prohibit the interfacial side reactions. Here, a layered conductive polyaniline (LCP) coating is built on Si nanoparticles to achieve high areal capacity and long lifespan. The conformal LCP coating stores electrolyte in interlamination spaces and directs an in situ formation of LCP-integrated hybrid SEI skin with uniform distribution of organic and inorganic components, enhancing the flexibility of the SEI to buffer the volume changes and maintaining homogeneous ion transport during cycling. As a result, the Si anode shows a remarkable cycling stability under high areal capacity (≈3 mAh cm-2 ) after 150 cycles and good rate performance of 942 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 . This work demonstrates the great potential of regulating the SEI properties by a layered polymer-directing SEI formation for the mechanical and electrochemical stabilization of Si anodes.

Abstract
ConspectusSilicon-based anode materials have become a research hot spot as the most promising candidates for next-generation high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. However, the irreversible degradation of the conductive network in the anode and the resultant dramatic capacity loss have become two ultimate challenges that stem from inherent characteristics of the Si-based materials, including poor conductivity and massive volume changes (up to 300%) during cycling. Apart from optimization of the active materials, one effective way to stabilize high-capacity Si-based anodes is by designing polymeric binders to reinforce the conductive networks during repeated charge and discharge processes. As an inactive component in the electrode, the binder not only holds other components (e.g., active materials, conductive agents, and current collectors) together to maintain the mechanical integrity of the electrode but also serves as a thickener to facilitate the homogeneous distribution of particles. Therefore, binders play a key role in Si-based anodes by maintaining the integrity of conductive networks in the electrode.In this Account, on the basis of the extensive binder-related work on Si-based anodes since the 2000s, efforts made on maintaining the conductive network can be categorized into two main strategies: (1) stabilization of the primary conductive network (which generally refers to conductive agents) by enhancing the binding strength and resilience of the binding between electrode components (i.e., Si particles, conducting agents, and current collectors) via various interactions (e.g., dipolar interactions and covalent bonds) and (2) construction of the secondary conductive network by employing conductive binders, which serve as a molecular-level conductive layer on active materials. In this sense, functional groups in binders can be divided into two categories: mechanical structural units and conductive structural units. On the one hand, functional groups with strong polarities (e.g., -OH, -COOH, -NH2, and -CONH-) generally serve as binding structural units because of their bonding tendencies; on the other hand, exhibiting high electronic conductivity, conjugated functional groups (e.g., -C4H4O2S-, -C16H9, -C13H8-, and -C12H8N-) are commonly found in conductive binders. Through establishing the correlation between structural units and their corresponding properties, we systematically summarize the optimization strategies and design principles of binders to achieve a robust conductive network in Si-based anodes. In addition, integration of desirable mechanical properties and high conductivity into the binder in order to achieve a multidimensionally stable conductive network is proposed. Through an insightful retrospective and prospective on binders, a key electrode component, we hope to provide a fresh perspective on performance optimization of Si-based anodes.

Abstract
Self-healing is the capability of materials to repair themselves after the damage has occurred, usually through the interaction between molecules or chains. Physical and chemical processes are applied for the preparation of self-healing systems. There are different approaches for these systems, such as heterogeneous systems, shape memory effects, hydrogen bonding or covalent–bond interaction, diffusion, and flow dynamics. Self-healing mechanisms can occur in particular through heat and light exposure or through reconnection without a direct effect. The applications of these systems display an increasing trend in both the R&D and industry sectors. Moreover, self-healing systems and their energy storage applications are currently gaining great importance. This review aims to provide general information on recent developments in self-healing materials and their battery applications given the critical importance of self-healing systems for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In the first part of the review, an introduction about self-healing mechanisms and design strategies for self-healing materials is given. Then, selected important healing materials in the literature for the anodes of LIBs are mentioned in the second part. The results and future perspectives are stated in the conclusion section.

Abstract
As a non-active material component, the binder can effectively maintain the integrity of battery electrodes. In this work, based on the inspired structure of fishing nets, a three-dimensional mesh adhesive using widely sourced raw materials CMC and β-CD was designed. These cross-linked cyclodextrins have the advantage of dispersing the stress at the anchor point and moderating the significant volume changes of the Si anode. The Si/β-CD-CMC electrode maintains a reversible capacity of 1702 mA h g−1 even after 200 cycles at a high current of 0.5C. This work represents a significant step forward in Si anode binders and enables the cross-linked cyclodextrins to have potential applications in energy storage systems. A three-dimensional mesh β-CD-CMC adhesive was designed based on the structure of fishing nets. This cross-linked binder has the ability to disperse the stress at the anchor point and moderate the significant volume changes of the Si anode.![]()

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is an auspicious anode material in next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to its exceptional theoretical gravimetric capacity, environmental friendliness, and high natural abundance. However, the practical application of Si anodes remains a "must-solve" challenge because of its drastic capacity fading that results from the inherent property of drastic volume expansion of Si during repeated lithiation and delithiation. Developing binders employed in robust electrodes has been considered an economical and practical method to affect the electrochemical performance of Si-based electrodes. Some natural polymers have demonstrated good adhesive properties with Si-active materials. However, they have limited capacity to keep the structural integrity of electrodes because the network structures solely based on weak hydrogen bonds are susceptible to deformation during cycling. Herein, we develop an in situ covalently cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular network and apply it to the Si electrode to improve cycling performance. This network architecture is constructed using furan-modified branched arabinoxylan of corn fiber gum (CFG) and an ionically conductive cross-linker of maleimido-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) through the Diels-Alder reaction. The maleimide groups in PEG can react spontaneously with the furan groups in CFG at room temperature without any other stimulation, thus forming strong covalent bonds in the network. The cross-linked CFG-PEG binder has demonstrated robust adhesive properties with Si-active materials and the current collector. The branching of CFG and functional groups of PEG are conducive to improving the lithium-ion conductivity in the silicon anode, resulting in excellent rate performances. The Si anode with a cross-linked CFG-PEG binder exhibits superior cycling stability. As a result, an in situ cross-linking 3D network as a novel binder has a great potential for fabricating an advanced Si anode in next-generation Li-ion batteries.

Silicon (Si) has demonstrated a remarkable potential for application as anode materials due to its superior capacity performance and worldwide abundance. However, Si intrinsically undergoes substantial volume fluctuation during repeated lithiation/delithiation processes, which pulverizes the Si particles and undermines the integrity of the electrode structures, thus resulting in frustrating cycling stability. We developed a polymer binder with a highly stretchable and elastic network structure that can accommodate volume variation of Si. This was realized by an in situ cross-linking of polyacrylic acid (PAA) with isocyanate-terminated polyurethane oligomers that consist of polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains and 2-ureido-4-pyrimidinone (UPy) moieties through the reaction between isocyanate and carboxyl during the electrode preparation process. In this binder network, PAA could strongly adhere to the Si particles by forming hydrogen bonding with the surface hydroxyl groups. The PEG chains induce the flexibility of the polymer network, while the UPy moieties endow the polymer network with desirable mechanical strength through the formation of reversible and strong quadruple H-bonding cross-linkers. This binder not only can sufficiently accommodate the volume change of Si but can also provide a strong mechanical support to effectively sustain the integrity for the Si anode, consequently enhancing cycle stability and rate performance.

Abstract
Recent research has built a consensus that the binder plays a key role in the performance of high-capacity silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries. These anodes necessitate the use of a binder to maintain the electrode integrity during the immense volume change of silicon during cycling. Here, Zn2+-imidazole coordination crosslinks that are formed to carboxymethyl cellulose backbones in situ during electrode fabrication are reported. The recoverable nature of Zn2+-imidazole coordination bonds and the flexibility of the poly(ethylene glycol) chains are jointly responsible for the high elasticity of the binder network. The high elasticity tightens interparticle contacts and sustains the electrode integrity, both of which are beneficial for long-term cyclability. These electrodes, with their commercial levels of areal capacities, exhibit superior cycle life in full-cells paired with LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 cathodes. The present study underlines the importance of highly reversible metal ion-ligand coordination chemistries for binders intended for high capacity alloying-based electrodes.

Abstract
Tremendous efforts have been dedicated to the development of high-performance electrochemical energy storage devices. The development of lithium- and sodium-ion batteries (LIBs and SIBs) with high energy densities is urgently needed to meet the growing demands for portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and large-scale smart grids. Anode materials with high theoretical capacities that are based on alloying storage mechanisms are at the forefront of research geared towards high-energy-density LIBs or SIBs. However, they often suffer from severe pulverization and rapid capacity decay due to their huge volume change upon cycling. So far, a wide variety of advanced materials and electrode structures are developed to improve the long-term cyclability of alloying-type materials. This review provides fundamentals of anti-pulverization and cutting-edge concepts that aim to achieve high-performance alloying anodes for LIBs/SIBs from the viewpoint of architectural engineering. The recent progress on the effective strategies of nanostructuring, incorporation of carbon, intermetallics design, and binder engineering is systematically summarized. After that, the relationship between architectural design and electrochemical performance as well as the related charge-storage mechanisms is discussed. Finally, challenges and perspectives of alloying-type anode materials for further development in LIB/SIB applications are proposed.

Abstract
The increasing amount of electric vehicles on our streets as well as the need to store surplus energy from renewable sources such as wind, solar and tidal parks, has brought small and large scale batteries into the focus of academic and industrial research. While there has been huge progress in performance and cost reduction in the past years, batteries and their components still face several environmental issues including safety, toxicity, recycling and sustainability. In this review, we address these challenges by showcasing the potential of polysaccharide-based compounds and materials used in batteries. This particularly involves their use as electrode binders, separators and gel/solid polymer electrolytes. The review contains a historical section on the different battery technologies, considerations about safety on batteries and requirements of polysaccharide components to be used in different types of battery technologies. The last sections cover opportunities for polysaccharides as well as obstacles that prevent their wider use in battery industry.
