Water-based adhesive and preparation method thereof, and use in anode of lithium battery

A method for preparing a water-based adhesive, comprising the following steps:

• mixing acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, acrylamide, optionally a surfactant acrylamide and water to obtain a mixture system;
• heating the mixture system to a polymerization temperature to obtain a heated mixture system;
• adding an initiator into the heated mixture system and subjecting a resulting system to polymerization to obtain a linear polymer, wherein the linear polymer consists of units of acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, acrylamide;
• adding a cross-linking agent into the linear polymer and subjecting a resulting mixture to cross-linked reaction to obtain a cross-linking system;
• cooling the cross-linked system after the cross-linking reaction is completed to obtain a cooled cross-linked system;
• and
• adjusting a pH of the cooled cross-linked system to 6-7 to obtain the water-based adhesive;
• wherein in parts by mass, the surfactant is in an amount of 0 part to 5 parts, the acrylic acid is in an amount of 150 parts to 200 parts, the acrylonitrile is in an amount of 30 parts to 150 parts, the acrylamide is in an amount of 5 parts to 200 parts, and the cross-linking agent is in an amount of 0.05 parts to 5 parts;
• the polymerization is conducted at a temperature of 60° C. to 90° C. for 2 hours to 8 hours;
• and,
• the cross-linking agent is selected from the group consisting of N,N-methylenebisacrylamide and aziridine, and the cross-linking reaction is conducted at a temperature of 80° C. to 90° C. for 0.5 hours to 3 hours.
