Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Polymer Chemistry

Background:

  • Organic electrodes offer sustainable, low-cost alternatives for lithium-ion batteries.
  • Conventional binders like PVDF are electrochemically inactive, limiting energy density.
  • Low conductivity and active material loading are key challenges in organic electrodes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel mixed ionic-electronic conducting polymer as a cathode binder for organic lithium-ion batteries.
  • To address limitations of inactive binders and improve electrode performance.
  • To investigate the impact of binder type on active material loading and cell performance.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of a novel polymer binder: poly[norbornene-1,2-bis(C(O)OPEDOT)]25-b-[norbornene-1,2-bis-(C(O)PEG12)]25 (PEDOT-b-PEG).
  • Fabrication of electrodes using perylene diimide (PDI) active material, conductive carbon, and either PEDOT-b-PEG or PVDF binder.
  • Electrochemical testing of lithium-ion cells to compare performance metrics like capacity and impedance.

Main Results:

  • Electrodes with PEDOT-b-PEG binder exhibited higher capacities compared to PVDF-based electrodes.
  • Reduced cell impedance was observed across all active material loadings with the new binder.
  • The PEDOT-b-PEG binder facilitated higher active material loadings effectively.

Conclusions:

  • PEDOT-b-PEG serves as a promising alternative binder for organic electrodes in lithium-ion batteries.
  • The mixed ionic-electronic conducting nature of the binder enhances overall electrode performance.
  • The polymer synthesis strategy is potentially applicable to other mixed polymer conductors for energy storage applications.
