Cellulose sulfate lithium as a conductive binder for LiFePO4 cathode with long cycle life
Polysaccharides can be potential binders for lithium-ion batteries due to their strong adhesion through numerous hydroxyl groups . As a novel waterborne lithiated polysaccharide derivative, cellulose sulfate lithium (CSL) is successfully synthesized and used as the binder for LiFePO 4 (LFP) cathode. The chemical structure of CSL is verified by FTIR-ATR, XRD, C 13 -NMR, GPC , EA , ICP and TGA . Compared to LFP cathode using polyvinylidene difluoride binder, electrochemical measurements show that the LFP cathode using CSL (LFP-CSL) has lower polarization and better rate performance owing to higher lithium-ion conductivity of CSL. The result of morphological analysis indicates that CSL binder can maintain an integrated LFP cathode structure during hundreds of cycles. As a result, the LFP-CSL cathode exhibits a discharge capacity of 133.4 mAh g −1 and maintains remarkable cycle stability with retention of 93.1 % after 300 cycles at 1C. These findings provide novel insights into the rational design of the binders for the LFP cathode.
