Carbon Nanotube-Graphene Nanoplatelet Hybrids and their Composites in Polymeric Binders of Lithium-Ion Negative electrode

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries have shown that they have a promising future in the coming era of EVs/HEVs. However, the current lithium ion batteries are handicapped by several critical disadvantages of EVs/HEVs applications, including short cycling life, low power density and safety hazards. Therefore, to overcome this problem, BA and AN were chosen as monomers to synthesize CNT and GnP of new type of water-based binders for negative electrodes of LIB. The synthesized CNT, GnP and their composite binder shows better performances as binder for LIB: good capacity retention, environmentally friendly product and so on.
