In-Situ Polymerized Binder: A Three-in-One Design Strategy for All-Integrated SiOx Anode with High Mass Loading in Lithium Ion Batteries

Shuxing Wu et al.

Summary: This study introduces a three-in-one design strategy for binder systems in SiOx electrodes, utilizing hard PFA and soft TPU interweaved in a 3D conformation to confine SiOx particles through in-situ polymerization. This collaborative approach results in an areal capacity of 2.4 mAh cm(-2) at a high mass loading of >3.0 mg cm(-2) after 100 cycles, and can be extended to other metal oxides anodes such as Fe2O3 and SnO2, shedding light on the rational design of functional polymer binders for high-areal-capacity electrodes.

Carbon-free high-loading silicon anodes enabled by sulfide solid electrolytes

Darren H. S. Tan et al.

Summary: The research successfully achieved stable operation of silicon anodes by using the interface passivating properties of sulfide solid electrolytes. Analysis showed that this approach eliminates continuous interfacial growth and irreversible lithium losses. The promising performance of microsilicon full cells can be attributed to the ideal interface properties between microsilicon and sulfide electrolytes and the unique chemomechanical behavior of the lithium-silicon alloy.
