Abstract:The widespread use of lithium‐ion batteries underlines the criticality of a more sustainable cell fabrication. Here, three biopolymers gelatin, pectin, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are investigated as binders for the TiNb2O7 anode material in Li cells in a temperature range between 0 and 60 ºC and compared to conventional binder polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The use of biopolymers is motivated by their own environmental friendliness and the possibility to implement an aqueous electrode processing. A speci… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
