Abstract
Hydrophobic antifouling polymers capable of self-healing performance are highly desirable for industrial applications. However, the construction of self-healing, hydrophobic antifouling polymers is challenging considering their complex fouling environments, which are humid in aqueous environment. In this work, a self-healing hydrophobic polymer containing Fe3+-catechol coordination applicable to antifouling is synthesized. The hydrophobic fluoroalkyl segments in the polymers formed unique domains dispersed in a polydimethylsiloxane matrix. The as-synthesized polymers can completely restore their tensile strength, and their self-healing efficiency is above 90% in both artificial seawater and pure water because of the dynamic Fe3+-catechol coordination interactions. The as-synthesized polymer exhibited self-healing and antifouling properties against common marine bacteria. The colony adhesion and self-healing processes of the damaged coating in artificial seawater containing marine bacteria are characterized by laser confocal microscopy. This strategy may be useful for the development of future polymeric antifouling materials.

Abstract
Under damp or aquatic conditions, the corrosion products deposited on micro-cracks/pore sites bring about the failure of intrinsically healable organic coatings. Inspired by mussels, a composite coating of poly (methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acylate-co-dopamine acrylamide)/phenylalanine-functionalized boron nitride (PMBD/BN-Phe) is successfully prepared on the reinforcing steel, which exhibits excellent anti-corrosion and underwater self-healing capabilities. The self-healing property of PMBD is derived from the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding and metal-ligand coordination bonding, and thereby the continuous generation of corrosion products can be significantly suppressed through in situ capture of cations by the catechol group. Furthermore, the corrosion protection ability can be remarkably improved by the labyrinth effect of BN and the inhibition role of Phe, and the desired interfacial compatibility can be formed by the hydrogen bonds between BN-Phe and PMBD matrix. The corrosion current density (icorr) of PMBD/BN-Phe coating is determined as 7.95 × 10-11 A cm-2. The low-frequency impedance modulus (|Z|f = 0.0 1 Hz is remained at 3.47 × 109 Ω cm2, indicating an ultra-high self-healing efficiency (≈89.5%). It is anticipated to provide a unique strategy for development of an underwater self-healing coating and robust durability for application in anti-corrosion engineering of marine buildings.

Abstract
Anion exchange membrane fuel cells promise a sustainable and ecofriendly energy conversion pathway yet suffer from insufficient performance and durability. Drawing inspiration from mussel foot adhesion proteins for the first time, we herein demonstrate catechol-modified ionomers that synergistically reinforce the membrane electrode assembly interface and triple-phase boundary inside catalyst layers. The resulting ionomers present exceptional alkaline stability with only slight ionic conductivity declines after treatment in 2 M NaOH aqueous solution at 80 °C for 2500 h. Adopting catechol-modified ionomer as both anion exchange membrane and binder achieves a single-cell performance increase of 34%, and more importantly, endows fuel cell operation at a current density of 0.4 A cm-2 for over 300 h with negligible performance degradation (with a cell voltage decay rate of 0.03 mV h-1). Combining theoretical and experimental investigations, we reveal the molecular adhesion mechanism between the catechol-modified ionomer and Pt catalyst and illuminate the effect on the catalyst layer microstructure. Of fundamental interest, this bioadhesive-inspired strategy is critical to enabling knowledge-driven ionomer design and is promising for diverse membrane electrode assembly configurational applications.

Advanced-design cross-linked binder enables high-performance silicon-based anodes through in-situ crosslinking based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and poly-lysine. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133050. [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
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
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the predominant energy storage power source. However, the urgent issues of enhancing electrochemical performance, prolonging lifetime, preventing thermal runaway-caused fires, and intelligent application are obstacles to their applications. Herein, bio-inspired electrodes owning spatiotemporal management of self-healing, fast ion transport, fire-extinguishing, thermoresponsive switching, recycling, and flexibility are overviewed comprehensively, showing great promising potentials in practical application due to the significantly enhanced durability and thermal safety of LIBs. Taking advantage of the self-healing core-shell structures, binders, capsules, or liquid metal alloys, these electrodes can maintain the mechanical integrity during the lithiation-delithiation cycling. After the incorporation of fire-extinguishing binders, current collectors, or capsules, flame retardants can be released spatiotemporally during thermal runaway to ensure safety. Thermoresponsive switching electrodes are also constructed though adding thermally responsive components, which can rapidly switch LIB off under abnormal conditions and resume their functions quickly when normal operating conditions return. Finally, the challenges of bio-inspired electrode designs are presented to optimize the spatiotemporal management of LIBs. It is anticipated that the proposed electrodes with spatiotemporal management will not only promote industrial application, but also strengthen the fundamental research of bionics in energy storage.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has been widely investigated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity. However, the huge volume expansion and low electrical conductivity limit its practical application to some extent. Here, we prepared silicon/reduced graphene oxide/amorphous carbon (Si/G/C) anode materials for lithium-ion batteries using a facile synergistic cladding layer. The protective effect of different carbon layers was explored and it was found that ternary composites have excellent electrochemical properties. In this work, the surface of Si was first modified using ammonia, and the positively charged Si was tightly anchored to the graphene sheet layer. In contrast, amorphous carbon was used as a reinforcing coating for further coating to synergistically build up the cladding layer of Si NPs with graphene oxide. The ternary composite (Si/G/C) material greatly ensures the structural integrity of the composites and shows excellent cycling as well as rate performance compared to Si/reduced graphene oxide and Si/carbon composites. For the Si/G/C composite, at a current density of 1 A g-1, it can be stably cycled over 267 times with 70% capacity retention (only 0.0711% capacity reduction per cycle).

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 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.

Abstract
The booming wearable/portable electronic devices industry has stimulated the progress of supporting flexible energy storage devices. Excellent performance of flexible devices not only requires the component units of each device to maintain the original performance under external forces, but also demands the overall device to be flexible in response to external fields. However, flexible energy storage devices inevitably occur mechanical damages (extrusion, impact, vibration)/electrical damages (overcharge, over-discharge, external short circuit) during long-term complex deformation conditions, causing serious performance degradation and safety risks. Inspired by the healing phenomenon of nature, endowing energy storage devices with self-healing capability has become a promising strategy to effectively improve the durability and functionality of devices. Herein, this review systematically summarizes the latest progress in intrinsic self-healing chemistry for energy storage devices. Firstly, the main intrinsic self-healing mechanism is introduced. Then, the research situation of electrodes, electrolytes, artificial interface layers and integrated devices based on intrinsic self-healing and advanced characterization technology is reviewed. Finally, the current challenges and perspective are provided. We believe this critical review will contribute to the development of intrinsic self-healing chemistry in the flexible energy storage field.

Abstract
A simple and versatile preparation of Zn(II)-poly(carboxylates) reticulated binders by the addition of Zn(II) precursors (ZnSO4, ZnO, or Zn(NO3)2) into a preoptimized poly(carboxylic acids) binder solution is proposed. These binders lead systematically to a significantly improved electrochemical performance when used for the formulation of silicon-based negative electrodes. The formation of carboxylate-Zn(II) coordination bonds formation is investigated by rheology and FTIR and NMR spectroscopies. Mechanical characterizations reveal that the coordinated binder offers a better electrode coating cohesion and adhesion to the current collector, as well as higher hardness and elastic modulus, which are even preserved in the presence of a carbonate solvent (i.e., in battery operation conditions). Ultimately, as shown from operando dilatometry experiments, the electrode expansion during lithiation is reduced, mitigating electrode mechanical failure. Such coordinatively reticulated electrodes outperform their uncoordinated counterparts with an improved capacity retention of over 30% after 60 cycles.

Abstract
Despite of extremely high theoretical capacity of Si (3579 mAh g-1 ), Si anodes suffer from pulverization and delamination of the electrodes induced by large volume change during charge/discharge cycles. To address those issues, herein, self-healable and highly stretchable multifunctional binders, polydioxythiophene:polyacrylic acid:phytic acid (PEDOT:PAA: PA, PDPP) that provide Si anodes with self-healability and excellent structural integrity is designed. By utilizing the self-healing binder, Si anodes self-repair cracks and damages of Si anodes generated during cycling. For the first time, it is demonstrated that Si anodes autonomously self-heal artificially created cracks in electrolytes under practical battery operating conditions. Consequently, this self-healable Si anode can still deliver a reversible capacity of 2312 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles with remarkable initial Coulombic efficiency of 94%, which is superior to other reported Si anodes. Moreover, the self-healing binder possesses enhanced Li-ion diffusivity with additional electronic conductivity, providing excellent rate capability with a capacity of 2084 mAh g-1 at a very high C-rate of 5 C.

Abstract
The integration of polymer materials with self-healing features into advanced lithium batteries is a promising and attractive approach to mitigate degradation and, thus, improve the performance and reliability of batteries. Polymeric materials with an ability to autonomously repair themselves after damage may compensate for the mechanical rupture of an electrolyte, prevent the cracking and pulverization of electrodes or stabilize a solid electrolyte interface (SEI), thus prolonging the cycling lifetime of a battery while simultaneously tackling financial and safety issues. This paper comprehensively reviews various categories of self-healing polymer materials for application as electrolytes and adaptive coatings for electrodes in lithium-ion (LIBs) and lithium metal batteries (LMBs). We discuss the opportunities and current challenges in the development of self-healable polymeric materials for lithium batteries in terms of their synthesis, characterization and underlying self-healing mechanism, as well as performance, validation and optimization.

Abstract
Nature offers inspiration for the development of high-performance synthetic materials. Extensive studies on the universal adhesion and self-healing behavior of mussel byssus reveal that a series of reversible molecular interactions occurring in byssal plaques and threads play an essential role, and the mussel-inspired chemistry can serve as a versatile platform for the design of self-healing materials. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of the recent progress in the detection, quantification, and utilization of mussel-inspired reversible molecular interactions, which includes the elucidation of their binding mechanisms via force-measuring techniques and the development of self-healing materials based on these dynamic interactions. Both conventional catechol-medicated interactions and newly discovered chemistry beyond the catechol groups are discussed, providing insights into the design strategies of advanced self-healing materials via mussel-inspired chemistry.

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 physical crosslinking of polymeric binders through coordination chemistry significantly improves the electrochemical performance of silicon-based negative electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy is used to probe the nanoscale morphology of such electrodes. This technique reveals the homogeneous coordination of carboxylated binder with Zn cations and its layering on the silicon surface. The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed after the first cycle is denser with Zn-coordinated binder and preferentially observed on binder-depleted zones. The superiority of coordinated binders can be attributed to their capacity to better stabilize the electrode and the SEI layer due to improved mechanical properties. This results in a lower SEI impedance, a higher first cycle coulombic efficiency, and a 40% improvement of capacity retention after 50 cycles for highly loaded electrodes of over 6 mAh cm-2 .

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
Introducing fluoroalkyl chains into metallopolymers is a prerequisite to studying the self-organization effect of fluoroalkyl chains and their structure-property relationship. In this work, we present a fluorinated metallopolymer to build an alternating conduction-insulation "molecular fence" model synthesized by the coordination of Ru(II) and a bis-terpyridine-end-capped-phenyl (BTP) ligand modified with fluoroalkyl chains. Taking advantage of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), a well-aligned periodic linear layered structure is observed clearly, which provides the most direct visualization of the self-organization effect of fluoroalkyl chains for the first time. In addition, combining ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, we find that fluoroalkyl chains demonstrate a septation effect between two adjacent metallopolymer chains and further restrain the occurrence of interchain charge-transfer transition (ICCT) due to their closed packed structure. This "molecular fence" model can provide a novel route for electron conduction in molecular networks and guide potential applications in the materials science field.

NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2022; 14:87. [PMID: 35362872 PMCID: PMC8975975 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-022-00833-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Silicon (Si) has been regarded as an alternative anode material to traditional graphite owing to its higher theoretical capacity (4200 vs. 372 mAh g-1). However, Si anodes suffer from the inherent volume expansion and unstable solid electrolyte interphase, thus experiencing fast capacity decay, which hinders their commercial application. To address this, herein, an endotenon sheath-inspired water-soluble double-network binder (DNB) is presented for resolving the bottleneck of Si anodes. The as-developed binder shows excellent adhesion, high mechanical properties, and a considerable self-healing capability mainly benefited by its supramolecular hybrid network. Apart from these advantages, this binder also induces a Li3N/LiF-rich solid electrolyte interface layer, contributing to a superior cycle stability of Si electrodes. As expected, the DNB can achieve mechanically more stable Si electrodes than traditional polyacrylic acid and pectin binders. As a result, DNB delivers superior electrochemical performance of Si/Li half cells and LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2/Si full cells, even with a high loading of Si electrode, to traditional polyacrylic acid and pectin binders. The bioinspired binder design provides a promising route to achieve long-life Si anode-assembled lithium batteries.

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
During the long-term operation of solid insulation materials, strong electric fields and mechanical stress cause electrical trees and cracks that are undetectable and irreversible, leading to the failure of electronic and electrical devices. A promising means of protecting against these problems is to endow the insulating materials with some self-healing capability alongside their excellent intrinsic properties. However, this has proved extremely challenging. In this paper, we describe an ultraviolet light, moisture, and magnetic field triple-response microcapsule that enables epoxy resin materials to heal themselves against various forms of damage without affecting the intrinsic performance of the matrix. In particular, microcapsules wrapped inside functional shells containing Fe3O4 nanoparticles are precisely controlled by a targeted magnetic field and distributed in the vulnerable area of the insulation materials, resulting in a high healing rate at low doping concentrations. Using the in situ ultraviolet light emitted by the electrical trees, artificial ultraviolet light, and moisture in the operating environment, it is possible to induce active or passive curing of the healing agent, thus realizing the intelligent, non-contact, and targeted self-healing of mechanical cracks and electrical tree damage. This method opens an avenue toward the development of self-healing insulation materials for electrical and electronic applications.

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
Silicon (Si), as the second most abundant element on Earth, has been a central platform of modern electronics owing to its low mass density and unique semiconductor properties. From an energy perspective, all-in-one integration of power supply systems onto Si-based functional devices is highly desirable, which inspires significant study on Si-based energy storage. Compared to the well-known Si-anode Li-ion batteries, Si-based supercapacitors possess high power density, long life, and simple working mechanisms, which enables their ease of integration onto a wide range of devices and applications. Besides Si, silicon carbide (SiC), as a physicochemically stable wide-bandgap semiconductor, also attracts research attention as an energy storage material in harsh environments. In this review, a detailed overview of latest advances in materials design, synthesis methods, and performances of Si-based and SiC-based supercapacitors will be provided. Some successful integrated devices, future perspectives, and potential research directions are also highlighted and discussed.

Abstract
Huge volume changes of silicon particles upon alloying and dealloying reactions with lithium are a major reason for the poor cycle performance of silicon-based anodes for lithium-ion batteries. To suppress dimensional changes of silicon is a key strategy in attempts to improve the electrochemical performance of silicon-based anodes. Here, we demonstrate that a conductive agent can be exploited to offset the mechanical strain imposed on silicon electrodes caused by volume expansion of silicon associated with lithiation. Hollow graphene particles as a conductive agent inhibit volume expansion by absorbing the swelling of silicon upon lithiation through flattening the free voids surrounded by the graphene shell. As a result, silicon electrodes with hollow graphene showed a height expansion of 20.4% after full lithiation with a capacity retention of 69% after 200 cycles, while the silicon electrode with conventional carbon black showed an expansion of 76.8% under the same conditions with a capacity retention of 38%. Some of the deflated hollow graphene returns to its initial shape on delithiation due to the mechanical flexibility of the graphene shell layer. Such a robust microstructure of a silicon electrode incorporating hollow graphene that serves as both an expansion inhibitor and a conductive agent greatly improves capacity retention compared with silicon electrodes with the conventionally used carbon black.

Abstract
It remains challenging to promptly inhibit and autonomically heal electrical trees inside insulating dielectrics, which are caused by sustained strong electrical fields and substantially shorten electronic device lifetimes and even cause premature failure of electrical equipment. Therefore, we demonstrate a magnetically targeted ultraviolet (UV)-induced polymerization functional microcapsule (MTUF-MC) to endow insulating materials with physical and electrical dual-damage self-healing capabilities. Specifically, Fe3O4@SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles, which serve as magnetic targets and UV shields (thereby preventing the healing agent from prematurely triggering), constitute a functional microcapsule shell, ensuring a low dopant concentration and excellent self-healing ability of the epoxy composites without affecting the intrinsic performance of the matrix. By exploiting in situ electroluminescence originating from electrical trees, UV-induced polymerization of healing agent is handily triggered without any applying external stimuli to intelligently, contactlessly, and autonomously self-healing electrical trees inside insulating dielectrics.

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
Binders play an important role in electrode processing for energy storage systems. While conventional binders often require hazardous and costly organic solvents, there has been increasing development toward greener and less expensive binders, with a focus on those that can be processed in aqueous conditions. Due to their functional groups, many of these aqueous binders offer further beneficial properties, such as higher adhesion to withstand the large volume changes of several high-capacity electrode materials. In this review, we first discuss the roles of binders in the construction of electrodes, particularly for energy storage systems, summarize typical binder characterization techniques, and then highlight the recent advances on aqueous binder systems, aiming to provide a stepping stone for the development of polymer binders with better sustainability and improved functionalities.

Abstract
The ever-increasing silicon photovoltaics industry produces a huge annual production of silicon waste (2.03 × 105 tons in 2019), while lignin is one of the main waste materials in the traditional paper industry (7.0 × 107 tons annually), which lead to not only enormous wastage of resources but also serious environment pollution. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the dominating power sources for portable electronics and electric vehicles. Silicon (Si)-based material is the most promising anode choice for the next-generation high-energy-density LIBs due to its much higher capacity than the commercial graphite anode. Here, we proposed the use of these silicon and lignin waste as sustainable raw materials to fabricate high-capacity silicon/carbon (Si/C) anode materials for LIBs via a facile coprecipitation method utilizing electrostatic attracting force, followed by a thermal annealing process. The as-achieved Si/C composite featured an advanced material structure with micrometer-sized secondary particles and Si nanoparticles embedded in the carbon matrix, which could tackle the inherent challenges of Si materials, including low conductivity and large volume change during the lithiation/delithiation processes. As expected, the obtained Si/C composite displayed an initial charge capacity of 1016.8 mAh g-1, which was 3 times that of a commercial graphite anode in the state-of-the-art LIBs, as well as a high capacity retention of 74.5% at 0.2 A g-1 after 100 cycles. In addition, this Si/C composite delivered superior rate capability with a high capacity of 575.9 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1, 63.4% of the capacity at 0.2 A g-1. The utilization of industrial Si and lignin waste provides a sustainable route for the fabrication of advanced high-capacity anode materials for the next-generation LIBs with high economic and environmental feasibility.

Abstract
A ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy)-functionalized poly(acrylic acid) grafted with poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG), designated PAU-g-PEG, was developed as a high performance polymer binder for Si anodes in lithium-ion batteries. By introducing both a ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) unit, which is capable of self-healing through dynamic hydrogen bonding within molecules as well as with Si, and an ion-conducting PEG onto the side chain of the poly(acrylic acid), this water-based self-healable and conductive polymer binder can effectively accommodate the volume changes of Si, while maintaining electronic integrity, in an electrode during repeated charge/discharge cycles. The Si@PAU-g-PEG electrode retained a high capacity of 1,450.2 mAh g-1 and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.4% even after 350 cycles under a C-rate of 0.5 C. Under a high C-rate of 3 C, an outstanding capacity of 2,500 mAh g-1 was also achieved, thus demonstrating its potential for improving the electrochemical performance of Si anodes.

Sequence-Defined Peptoids with -OH and -COOH Groups As Binders to Reduce Cracks of Si Nanoparticles of Lithium-Ion Batteries. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2020; 7:2000749.

Abstract
Silicone (Si) is one type of anode materials with intriguingly high theoretical capacity. However, the severe volume change associated with the repeated lithiation and delithiation processes hampers the mechanical/electrical integrity of Si anodes and hence reduces the battery's cycle-life. To address this issue, sequence-defined peptoids are designed and fabricated with two tailored functional groups, "-OH" and "-COOH", as cross-linkable polymeric binders for Si anodes of LIBs. Experimental results show that both the capacity and stability of such peptoids-bound Si anodes can be significantly improved due to the decreased cracks of Si nanoparticles. Particularly, the 15-mer peptoid binder in Si anode can result in a much higher reversible capacity (ca. 3110 mAh g-1) after 500 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 compared to other reported binders in literature. According to the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is the functional groups presented on the side chains of peptoids that facilitate the formation of Si-O binding efficiency and robustness, and then maintain the integrity of the Si anode. The sequence-designed polymers can act as a new platform for understanding the interactions between binders and Si anode materials, and promote the realization of high-performance batteries.

Abstract
We graft an electrically conductive poly(aniline-co-anthranilic acid) (PAAA) polymer capable of interacting with Si particles onto chitosan, a natural hydrophilic polymer, to form a chitosan-grafted-PAAA (CS-g-PAAA) copolymer, and use it as a new water soluble polymeric binder for Si anodes to relieve the physical stress resulting from Si volume change during charge/discharge cycles. The carboxylic acid functional groups within the PAAA structure, as well as the chitosan functional groups, bind to silicon particles to form a stable 3D network, resulting in high adhesion. Because the binder is conductive, the electrode using the CS-g-PAAA-8 : 1 with an optimal composition ratio of CS to PAAA of 8 : 1 shows a high initial capacity of 2785.6 mA h g−1, and maintains a high capacity of 1301.0 mA h g−1 after 300 cycles. We also extract chitosan directly from crab shells, and fabricate a Si@ECS-g-PAAA electrode by grafting PAAA onto the extracted-chitosan (ECS). This electrode records an initial capacity of 3057.3 mA h g−1, and maintains a high capacity of 1408.8 mA h g−1 with 51.4% retention after 300 cycles. Overall, we develop a polymeric binder with outstanding cell properties, ease of fabrication, and high water solubility for Si anodes by grafting a conductive PAAA onto chitosan. We develop a polymeric binder with outstanding cell properties, and high water solubility for Si anodes by grafting a conductive PAAA onto chitosan.![]()

Abstract
Although being incorporated in commercial lithium-ion batteries for a while, the weight portion of silicon monoxide (SiOx , x ≈ 1) is only less than 10 wt% due to the insufficient cycle life. Along this line, polymeric binders that can assist in maintaining the mechanical integrity and interfacial stability of SiOx electrodes are desired to realize higher contents of SiOx . Herein, a pyrene-poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-polyrotaxane (PR) supramolecular network is reported as a polymeric binder for SiOx with 100 wt%. The noncovalent functionalization of a carbon coating layer on the SiOx is achieved by using a hydroxylated pyrene derivative via the π-π stacking interaction, which simultaneously enables hydrogen bonding interactions with the PR-PAA network through its hydroxyl moiety. Moreover, the PR's ring sliding while being crosslinked to PAA endows a high elasticity to the entire polymer network, effectively buffering the volume expansion of SiOx and largely mitigating the electrode swelling. Based on these extraordinary physicochemical properties of the pyrene-PAA-PR supramolecular binder, the robust cycling of SiOx electrodes is demonstrated at commercial levels of areal loading in both half-cell and full-cell configurations.
