Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Binder for Li-ion Battery Anode Materials

Lithium ion batteries are widely used in consumer electronics like laptops and cellular phones. Since lithium ion batteries produced, there have been many technological developments to increase their performance. One of the most important issues for lithium ion batteries is to work on low temperatures for the applications in aerospace, military and electrical vehicles. In the studies related to this topic it is widely observed that the insertion and extraction of lithium is more difficult at low temperatures.
For this purpose, some polymers were studied on and it was seen that most polymers at room temperature show the familiar polymeric properties of material flexibility and high resistance to cracking. But as the temperature decreases, these polymers become hard and brittle. So, it can be said that a poorly chosen binder system may cause impact damage to the electrode, like electrode cracking, peeling of the structure and manufacturing imperfections.
To solve this problem styrene-butadiene rubber/carboxymethylcellulose (SBR/CMC) has been studied in silicon-based electrodes to improve durability at low temperatures and cycle stability. For a SBR/CMC-based anode, interactionsbetween the carboxylic acid in the CMC and the hydroxyl groups in the Si-C silicon composite can form chemical networks on the surface of silicon. So, it is obvious that styrene butadiene rubber binder can be useful for you for using in lithium ion battery applications.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from:  https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread th...

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)  have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product.
