Novel functional carboxymethyl cellulose lithium (CMC-Li) for enhanced performance of lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Novel functional CMC-Li was synthesized using cotton as a raw material. A new method to modify electrode materials with CMC-Li using electrospinning was developed, and CMC-Li used as a novel binder in a battery, which demonstrated a specific capacity exceeding the theoretical specific capacity of LFP. The batteries show good electrochemical properties, excellent stability and are environmentally friendly.
