Abstract

Designed Graphite-Si/SiOx/C composite electrodes for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are prepared with different binder of carboxymethyl cellulose-styrene butadiene rubber (CMC-SBR) and polyimide (PI). Electrode performance of composites highly depends on the selection of binder. The Si-based/graphite composite electrode containing PI binder shows very stable cycle stability with the retention higher than 95 % after 30 cycles; however, the capacity of composite electrode with CMC-SBR binder fades to less than 80 % after 20 cycles. The improvement mechanism of PI binder is characterized by SEM, EDS mapping, adhesive strength test, and electric performance test. The surface of anode film does not show crack after several cycles, and the SEI on the surface of Si/SiOx/C particle is characterized. It is found that anode film peeing off strength matches well with the composite cycle stability. This result is further supported with cell disassembly result. We believe that improvement of anode film adhesion strength is an effective way to get stable long cycle life.
