The PVP Binder is a new binder that improves Lithium-I Battery life with a new binder known as the initials PVP.

Scientists from SLAC and Stanford developed a cathode that lasts five times longer than the previous models while conserving 94 % of its initial capacity to store energy after just 100 charge/discharge cycles and 70 percent of its original capacity following 500 cycles. When it comes to enhancing the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries, every component should be considered, including the glue that holds the materials inside the cathode. Researchers of ...
