Novel copolymer binder extends the life of lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

PVDF is characterized by a nonconducting nature, slow dissolution in the electrolyte, and poor adherence to the current collector—thus limiting its utility as a robust binder for lithium-ion batteries designed for a long cycle life. This comes in part from the ?-? 0c02742.
