Enabling Aqueous Processing of Ni‐Rich Layered Oxide Cathodes via Systematic Modification of Biopolymer (Polysaccharide)‐Based Binders

Biopolymer (Polysaccharide)-Based Binders Biopolymers like polysaccharides are a F-free alternative compared to state-of-the-art polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), can realize water processing and be beneficial in terms of recycling. The here shown dual binder approach enables a constant viscosity of cathode slurry (i.e., similar final composite network) paving way for systematic and comparable study of sugar-based binder modifications for Ni-rich LiNixCoyMnzO2 (NCM) cathodes.
