Water-based manufacturing process of cathode electrode is being developed for environmental protection and cost reduction. Zeon has developed binder that contributes to better cycle property with uniform dispersion of small-particle LFP (LiFePO4) and conductive agent.
Using a water-based solvent instead of the conventional NMP solvent allows for a safer electrode manufacturing environment and reduces environmental impact.
PFAS-Free
Switching to a fluorine-free composition eliminates PFAS from binders.
Suppression of Electrolyte Decomposition
The coating effect suppresses electrolyte decomposition on the surface of the active material and conductive agent, contributing to extended battery life.
Typical Applications
Electric Vehicles
Large-Scale Storage Batteries
Mobile Phones
Power Tools
Quality Test
Cycle life comparison with LFP
Excellent Cycle Property
Suppressing electrolyte decomposition and electrode expansion enhances cycle performance.
Cathode electrode thickness change after 200 cycles
Electrode Expansion after 200 Cycles
The coating on the active material and conductive agent helps suppress electrode expansion across charge-discharge cycles.
