    Abstract: Polymer composition for an electrode, method, and a lithium-ion battery including same are provided. This composition includes an active material having a graphite usable in the anode, an electrically conductive filler and a cross-linked elastomer binder that includes a hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer (HNBR). The binder includes a non-hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer (NBR) and/or an HNBR with an acrylonitrile content that is at least 40% by weight and cross-linked by thermal oxidation. This method includes: a) mixing the active material, the binder in a non-cross-linked state and the electrically conductive filler, to obtain a precursor mixture of the composition, b) depositing the mixture on a metal current collector so that the mixture forms a non-cross-linked film, then c) thermal oxidation of the non-cross-linked film under an atmosphere containing oxygen at a temperature of between 200 and 300° C., to obtain the electrode in which the binder is cross-linked.
