Abstract
Binder modification is an effective method to restrain the volume effect of Si anodes in high energy density lithium-ion batteries. In this work, a novel binder grafting strategy is proposed to prepare urea formaldehyde resin (UFR) grafted polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) binder to overall enhance the electrochemical performance of Si anodes. The advanced binder solves the problems of poor dispersibility, mechanical stability, and chemical stability of PVA binder. Benefit from the lithium conductivity and flexibility of the UFR modified PVA binder, the Si anode delivers over 2000 mAh/g after 200 cycles at a current density of 2.1 A/g, and retains 1837 mAh/g at 42 A/g. Furthermore, the PVA-UFR binder also exhibits obvious advantages in full cells, and the cycle stability of Si//LiFePO4 is significantly improved.
