The commonly used polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder should be replaced with renewable and abundant materials to enable a sustainable aqueous processing route for LIB cathodes, by eliminating the energy-intensive N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) recovery step.

First-principles calculations were performed to investigate the electrochemical stability of lithium solid electrolyte materials in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. The common solid electrolytes were found to have a limited electrochemical window. Our results suggest that the outstanding stability of the solid electrolyte materials is not thermodynamically intrinsic but is originated from kine...

Abstract Solid polymer electrolyte membrane for Li-ion battery was fabricated via N-TIPS technique. To substitute commercially available polyolefin-based separator with more sustainable source, cellulose-based employed as matrix. Green solvent dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) used to replace conventional solvents. Impedance measurement using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy performed determine io...

N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP), which has the chemical formula C5H9NO, is a stable, water-soluble organic solvent that is widely used in the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, polymer science and especially semiconductor industries. Electronic grade NMP is used by semiconductor manufacturers as a wafer cleaner and photoresist stripper and as such the solvent comes into direct contact with wafer surfa...

Pesticide entrainment in stormwater runoff can contribute to non-point source pollution of surface waters. Granular activated carbon has been successfully used for removing pesticides from wastewater. However, implementation of granular activated carbon sorption media in stormwater filtration systems comes with high initial capital investment and operating costs. Modified pine barks offer attra...
