Abstract

Here, organic monolayers of epoxy-containing oligo(ethylene oxide)s were grafted to the surface of silicon nanoparticles via a hydrosilylation reaction. The surface functional groups suppressed the chemical and electrochemical reactivity of the as-grown and lithiated silicon nanoparticles with high material utilization. A robust Si/electrolyte interphase was formed with the participation of the grafted organic groups with facilitated Li+ transfer and was further enforced by electrode integrity via the epoxy/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) binder reaction. The improved cycling stability and post-test analysis indicate that surface functionalization on the Si particle level is a potential method to enabling a Si anode in high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.

Re-Engineering Poly(Acrylic Acid) Binder toward Optimized Electrochemical Performance for Silicon Lithium-Ion Batteries: Branching Architecture Leads to Balanced Properties of Polymeric Binders

Journal Article Jiang, Sisi ; Hu, Bin ; Shi, Zhangxing ; ... - Advanced Functional Materials

Silicon is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries with its superior capacity. However, the drastic volume changes during lithiation/delithiation cycles hinder the cycling performance, resulting in particle pulverization, conductivity loss, and an unstable electrode-electrolyte interface. In this work, a series of synthetic polymeric binders, poly(acrylic acid-co-tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate)-featuring a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) backbone branched via tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (TEGDA)-are developed that edge toward evidencing well-balanced properties to confront capacity fading in Si-based electrodes. The incorporation of ether chain not only leads to the branching architecture of the PAA backbone, thus affecting its mechanical properties, but also promotes the conductivitymore »« less

The Study of the Binder Poly(acrylic acid) and Its Role in Concomitant Solid–Electrolyte Interphase Formation on Si Anodes

Journal Article Browning, Katie L. ; Sacci, Robert L. ; Doucet, Mathieu ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

In this work we use neutron reflectometry to study how the polymeric binder, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), affects the in situ formation and chemical composition of the solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation on a silicon anode at various states of charge. The reflectivity is correlated with electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance to better understand the viscoelastic effects of the polymer during cycling. The use of model thin films allows for a well-controlled interface between the amorphous Si surface and the PAA layer. If the PAA perfectly coats the Si surface and standard processing conditions are used, the binder will prevent the lithiation ofmore »« less

Understanding of pre-lithiation of poly(acrylic acid) binder: Striking the balances between the cycling performance and slurry stability for silicon-graphite composite electrodes in Li-ion batteries

Journal Article Hu, Bin ; Jiang, Sisi ; Shkrob, Ilya A. ; ... - Journal of Power Sources

Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) is widely used as a polymer binder for high capacity silicon (Si) anodes in Li-ion batteries. When used, the carboxyl (-CO2H) groups of PAA can be partially lithiated (known as pre-lithiation treatment), which is believed to facilitates lamination process, especially for production on a large scale. However, such treatment impacts numerous physico-chemical properties of the PAA binder that affect the cycling performance of the electrode. Here we seek to quantify the pre-lithiation treatment effect on Li-ion cells containing Si-graphite composite electrodes. The electrochemical cycling results indicated that such pre-lithiation treatment of PAA can undermine the cycling performance,more »« less

Silicon Composite Electrodes with Dynamic Ionic Bonding

Journal Article Kang, Sen ; Yang, Ke ; White, Scott R. ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

Silicon (Si) composite electrodes are developed with increased cycle lifetimes and reliability through dynamic ionic bonding between active Si nanoparticles and a polymer binder. Amine groups are covalently attached to Si nanoparticles via surface functionalization. Si composite electrodes are fabricated by combining the Si nanoparticles with a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) binder. The formation of ionic bonds between amine groups on Si particles and carboxylic acid groups on the PAA binder is characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Si composite anodes with ionic bonding demonstrate long term cycling stability with capacity retention of 80% at 400 cycles at amore »« less
