PVDF Binder for Li-ion Battery Electrodes

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)  is a highly non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer produced by the polymerization of vinylidene difluoride. PVDF is a specialty plastic used in applications needing the highest purity, as well as resistance to solvents, acids and hydrocarbons. PVDF is used as piping products, sheet, tubing, films, plate and an insulator for premium wire. PVDF is used in many different areas like in semiconductors, madical and defense industries. One of the important area that PVDF is used is lithium ion batteries as binder. In  lithium ion batteries  the binder can be considered as a key component . The major function of the binders in lithium ion batteries is to act as an effective dispersion agent to connect the electrode species together and then steadily adhere them to the current collectors. PVDF is one of the most commonly binders used for  cathode  of lithium ion batteries because of its superior electrochemical and thermal stability...
