Novel copolymer binder extends the life of lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

One of the major causes for the drop in capacity over time in Li-ion batteries is the degradation of the widely used graphite anodes. This study was supported by the JST-Mirai Program (grant umber JP18077239). Graphite thus requires a binder to prevent it from falling apart with use. 0c02742.
