Patent today showing excellent results against the standard aqueous binder (cmc).
Just read this ....does it put a dampener on it?
Another kind of binder that is commonly used in commercial lithium ion batteries is the sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The greatest advantage of CMC is that it allows processing of electrode slurries with water solvent rather than with polluting, environmentally unfriendly, volatile organic compound-based solvents. Moreover, this kind of water-soluble binder is cheap and easy to dispose at the end of the battery life, thus definitely leading to cheaper and greener electrode processing [15]. Due to its apparent advantages, the applications of CMC as the binders in lithium ion batteries have been reported frequently [9], [16]. However, the CMC binder is usually used together with styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR), another kind of binder to get a better performance.
