Systematic Molecular‐Level Design of Binders Incorporating Meldrum's Acid for Silicon Anodes in Lithium Rechargeable Batteries

Abstract

Covalent or Noncovalent? Systematic investigation of polymeric binders incorporating Meldrum's acid reveals most critical binder properties for silicon -anodes in lithium ion batteries, that is self-healing effect facilitated by a series of noncovalent interactions.
