Article Synopsis
- A new method for creating Zn(II)-poly(carboxylates) binders using various Zn(II) precursors in a poly(carboxylic acids) solution shows enhanced electrochemical performance for silicon-based negative electrodes.
- The study examines how carboxylate-Zn(II) coordination bonds improve the mechanical properties and adhesion of the binder to the electrode structure, contributing to its durability during battery operation.
- The improved electrodes demonstrate over 30% better capacity retention after 60 charge-discharge cycles compared to traditional binders, indicating a significant advancement in battery technology.
The physical crosslinking of polymeric binders through coordination chemistry significantly improves the electrochemical performance of silicon-based negative electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy is used to probe the nanoscale morphology of such electrodes. This technique reveals the homogeneous coordination of carboxylated binder with Zn cations and its layering on the silicon surface.
