BASF introduces new Licity binder grade with improved properties optimized for anodes with Si content material exceeding 20%

BASF has prolonged its sequence of Licity anode binders for Li-ion battery manufacturing. The second-generation styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) binder Licity 2698 X F facilitates using silicon contents exceeding 20%. The binder is very appropriate for SiOx and Si-rich anodes.

Along with the established properties of the Licity product household, this binder permits greater capability, elevated variety of cost/discharge cycles and diminished charging occasions.

Moreover, Licity 2698 X F might be manufactured in line with the biomass steadiness strategy. On this strategy, biomass is fed into BASF’s manufacturing course of and allotted to the binder. BASF is dedicated to aligning financial objectives with environmental and social duty, from the uncooked supplies used for Licity binders as much as their supply.

Licity binders are designed as waterborne, carboxylated styrene butadiene copolymers with very low VOC content material. Designed to beat the bounds of lithium-ion batteries, they’re waterborne binders with excessive colloidal stability which can be very suitable with co-binders reminiscent of CMC. Licity binders are characterised by wonderful processability and superior coating conduct. Moreover, they’ve excellent mechanical and electrochemical properties.

Along with the brand new second-generation Licity 2698 X F sequence, BASF presents Licity 2680, 2688, 2668 F and 2678 first-generation grades.
