Abstract:Silicon is considered as one of the most promising anode materials with high capacity for lithium-ion battery due to its high theoretical specific capacity. Binder is an important part of lithium-ion battery, its adhesion performance quality directly affect the capacity and cycle performance of the electrode. However, commonly used commercial binders have relatively single function, which can not meet the requirements of high energy density battery to a certain extent. Therefore, the functional modification of binders is one of the important means to improve electrode capacity, long cycle and safety performance. In this paper, the latest research progress of functional binders for silicon-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries is reviewed. The self-healing binder, conductive binder and flame retardant binder are focused on. Finally, the development trend of binder for silicon-based anodes is prospected.
