The invention relates to the technical field of
lithium ion battery key materials, in particular to a cross-linked
polyacrylic acid /
polyvinyl alcohol composite binder and a preparation method and application thereof. The binder is prepared by introducing N, N-
dimethylformamide into a water-soluble acrylic
monomer, an ethylenically-bond-containing
acrylonitrile monomer and a
vinyl ester monomer through ternary
polymerization; n, N-
methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) forms a rigid-flexible three-dimensional chemical cross-linked network, and then the rigid-flexible three-dimensional chemical cross-linked network and
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) construct an interpenetrating network (IPN) through
hydrogen-bond interaction. The dual cross-linked network has the
structural stability of chemical cross-linking and the dynamic adaptability of physical cross-linking, when the charging and discharging volume of the
silicon-based negative
electrode changes, stress is dissipated through network elastic deformation, meanwhile,
interface bonding is strengthened through the ionic bond action of a
lithium carboxylate group, active substance falling and
electrode pulverization are inhibited, and the service life of the
silicon-based negative
electrode is prolonged. And the cycle life of the high-energy-density
lithium ion battery is remarkably prolonged.
