Description

Aqueous binders as environmentally sustainable alternatives to conventional polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) binders have not yet been successful for cathodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, carboxylic acid functionalized cellulose nanocrystals (CNC-COOHs) have been obtained from Miscanthus × giganteus (M×G) biomass and evaluated as aqueous binders for LIB cathodes.
