Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Condensed Liquid Binder for Li-ion Battery

In  lithium ion batteries  it is very important to choose a good binder for the electrodes. There are some requirements that the binder has to meet to have durability and long cycle life. The binder should be chemically inert and electrochemically stable to get the best performance from lithium ion batteries. The other important point is that these properties should be gotten by lower amounts of binders. One of these binders that meet the requirements is  Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Condensed Liquid Binder for Li-ion Battery . PTFE is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight compound consisting of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is hydrophobic material; so, it does not interact with water or water containing substances because of the London forces due to high electronegativity of fluorine.  PTFE binders has a CF 2 -CF 2  unit which demonstrates excellent chem...
