Green Alternative binders for high-voltage electrochemical capacitors

Abstract

Different polymer binders have been studied for applications in positive and negative electrodes of lithium-ion capacitor (LIC). The current work describes also some new approaches for changing the electrode fabrication process from organic to aqueous solvents in order to reduce the cost of the electrode making process. LIC electrodes made from Solef® PVDF aqueous dispersions have revealed a superior electrode quality and a high electrochemical performance. These achievements have demonstrated the possibility to develop an environmentally friendly production process of LIC.
