Built to last: New copolymer binder to extend the life of lithium ion batteries
(Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) The capacity of lithium-ion batteries decreases over time partly due to the degradation of the binder that protects the graphite anode. To address this problem, scientists from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology are investigating a new copolymer binder that can preserve the capacity of the anode at 95% of its original value even after >1700 charge cycles. Their findings can significantly enhance battery life for electric vehicles, artificial organs, and consumer electronics.
