Mechanically robust and superior conductive n-type polymer binders for high-performance micro-silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries
Abstract
Compared with nanostructured silicon (Si), the Si microparticle (SiMP) has more commercial prospects due to its low cost. However, SiMPs suffer from unavoidable fracture during electrochemical cycling owing to their significant volume change. Here we develop a series of novel n-type conductive polymer binders (CPBs) for SiMP anodes in lithium-ion batteries owing to their superior properties. Extraordinary electrochemical performance of cells with such unique binders could be achieved, which is because these designed polymers contain electron-withdrawing oxadiazole ring groups and easily ionizable sulfonate polar groups, exhibiting excellent ionic conductivity, outstanding wettability to the electrolyte, and improved electronic conductivity after doping. Moreover, the coexistence of rigid and flexible chains enables them to have exceptional strength and ductility. Besides, a unique electrochromic approach has been utilized to investigate the energy gap of the CPBs in n-doping states. The ionic and electronic conductivities of prepared CPBs in an eigenstate and n-doping state have been systematically studied by the electrochemical method, filling the current research gap in this field. Due to the high conductivity of b-POD, the capacity of SiMPs (4200 mA h g–1) can be almost entirely released during the first cycle of discharge, while the SiMP anodes prepared with the PAALi ormore »

Here, the high conductivity of b-POD also endows it with better cycling performance than non-conductive binders especially at high current densities, demonstrating its excellent fast-charging ability. More essentially, this work provides polymer binders without any intricate structural designs to obtain high-performance SiMP batteries, significantly enhancing their practical applications.},
