Nanocomposite Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries Made Using Corn:
By Shaheer RehanJul 22 2022Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc. A research paper published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces detailed the development of a corn biomass-based carbon framework and a green cross-linking binder for a silicon-based electrode in lithium-ion batteries. The goal was to minimize the decline in specific capacity because of volumetric expansion and contraction after charge/discharge cycles.
Finding suitable alternatives to graphite for anode materials of LIBs is currently receiving a lot of attention. The goal is to develop inexpensive anode materials that have improved safety, a higher specific capacity and energy density, and extended cyclic life. Despite its superior electrochemical behavior, silicon undergoes large volumetric fluctuations during charging/discharging cycles, resulting in interface instability, pulverization of electrodes, breakdown of electric contact, and rapid decline in performance.
Advantages of Green Binders Green binders that include large concentrations of functional units like hydroxyl , carboxyl , or amino groups may help in boosting the effectiveness as well as the stability of alloy-based materials.
