Cathode Binder (Water-based)

Application
Battery
Solution
Safety Sustainability

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.

Characteristics

Organic and Solvent-Free
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.
