This study reports the performance of hydrothermal VOPO<sub>4</sub> 2H<sub>2</sub>O anode material in combination with aqueous-based binders such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), polyacrylic acid (PAA) and their mixture CMC-PAA (1:1 wt%).

The cells with aqueous- and PVDF-based electrodes are tested by galvanostatic, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. When the CMC-PAA aqueous binder is used, the electrode displays the most stable electrochemical performances due to a uniform distribution of the VOPO<sub>4</sub> with strong adhesion to the current collector for long-term cycle life. A stable, solid electrolyte interphase layer is formed when the mixture of CMC-PAA is used instead of a standard PVDF-based binder. In addition, these samples display stable cycling life at different rate capabilities due to the facilitated lithium-ion diffusion and electronic conductivity.</p>","PeriodicalId":9831,"journal":{"name":"ChemistryOpen","volume":" ","pages":"e2500102"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144315978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
