Abstract
Silicon is considered as one of the ideal anode materials for the new generation of lithium-ion batteries due to its extremely high theoretical specific capacity. Nevertheless, in the actual charging and discharging process, the Si electrode will lose its electrochemical performance due to the huge volume change of Si nanoparticles resulting in detachment from the surface of the fluid collector. The polymer binder can bond the Si nanoparticles together in a three-dimensional cross-linking network, which can thus effectively prevent the Si nanoparticles from falling off the surface of the fluid collector due to the drastic change of volume during the charging and discharging process. Therefore, this study developed a new polymer binder based on electrostatic interaction with hyperbranched polyethylenimine (HPEI) as the main body and water-soluble carboxylated polyethylene glycol (CPEG) as the cross-linker, where the degree of cross-linking can be easily optimized by adjusting the pH value. The results demonstrate that, when the density of positive and negative charges in the binder is relatively balanced at pH 7, the stability of the battery’s charge–discharge cycle is significantly improved. After 200 cycles of constant current charge–discharge test, the specific capacity retention rate is 63.3%.
