Abstract:
Provided is a binder for battery electrodes which includes a polymer including: structural units (1) derived from a (meth)acrylate monomer (A) having a hydroxyl group; structural units (2) derived from a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate monomer (B); and structural units (3) derived from a reactive surfactant (C). This binder is used to prepare electrodes, and produce batteries such as lithium ion secondary batteries. Provided are: an aqueous binder which has a low environmental impact, exhibits excellent binding properties, and, notably, does not cause oxidation degradation under an electrode environment; and an electrode and a battery which use said binder.
Abstract:
There is provided a cathode material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery that has excellent flexibility and binding properties, and can effectively reduce the internal resistance of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, and effectively improve the charge-discharge cycle characteristics of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. The cathode material comprises a cathode active material and a binder, wherein the binder is a copolymer comprising a structural unit (A) derived from a (meth)acrylate monomer, a structural unit (B) derived from a carboxylic acid group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and a structural unit (C) derived from a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate monomer having a functionality of 5 or less, and the cathode material is substantially free of a thickener.
