Abstract
Systems and methods for water based phenolic binders for silicon-dominant anodes may include an electrode coating layer on a current collector, where the electrode coating layer is formed from silicon and a pyrolyzed water-based phenolic binder. The water-based phenolic binder may include phenolic/resol type polymers crosslinked with poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride), poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic acid), and/or Poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADAM). The electrode coating layer may further include conductive additives. The current collector may comprise one or more of a copper, tungsten, stainless steel, and nickel foil in electrical contact with the electrode coating layer. The electrode coating layer may include more than 70% silicon. The electrode may be in electrical and physical contact with an electrolyte, where the electrolyte includes a liquid, solid, or gel. The battery electrode may be in a lithium ion battery.
