摘要

A waterborne emulsion binder with multiple crosslinked structure was prepared by emulsion polymerization

which has rich polar functional groups

high adhesion and excellent resilience. Therefore

the Li-S battery prepared by the binder had high initial capacity and excellent stability.

Abstract

Lithium-sulfur batteries suffer a lot from the huge volume change and the shuttle effect. However

conventional poly(vinylidene fluoride) binder has intrinsic drawbacks

such as low ion conductivity

weak polysulfide-trapping ability

poor mechanical properties

and requirement of organic solvents. Herein

we designed a functional emulsion binder with multi crosslinked structure. Such a structure was formed by the covalent crosslinking within and between the emulsion particles

which facilitates the adapting of the volume expansion of sulfur cathode

thereby ensuring the integrity of electrodes. Besides

the polar functional groups endow the binder with strong chemisorption of lithium polysulfide and fast lithium-ion migration ability. Thus

the assembled lithium-sulfur battery displayed a high initial discharge capacity of 1246 mAh·g

−1

at 0.1 C

and a capacity fading rate of 0.04% per cycle after 500 cycles at 0.5 C. Even at a high sulfur mass loading of 4.8 mg·cm

–2

a high capacity of 956 mAh·g

−1

was still obtained at 0.2 C.
