Novel copolymer binder extends the life of lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

One of the major challenges for graphite anodes is the exfoliation of the graphite framework on deep cycling at a fast current rate. 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. —Prof.

That increased energy density can lead to longer battery life for a phone or greater range for an electric vehicle with each charge. Ni NMA outperforms both NMC and NCA and only slightly trails NMCAM and a commercial cathode after 1000 deep cycles. More nickel in a battery means it can store more energy. graduate Wangda Li.
