Material Properties Affecting Binder Activity

The performance of cathodes is highly affected by the slurry properties and drying methods. Viscosity is one of the most important properties of slurries. It is determined by the slurry composition, including the choice of solvents, the solvent concentration, the properties of active material particles, the choice and concentration of binders, the choice and concentration of carbon blacks, and the sohds loading. It is also affected by additional factors, including mixing sequence, mixing time, and de-aeration processes.
