Aqueous based polymers for silicon dominant anodes

Abstract

Systems and methods utilizing aqueous-based polymer binders for silicon-dominant anodes may include an electrode coating layer on a current collector, where the electrode coating layer is formed from silicon and a water soluble polymer and may comprise one or more of the following materials: pH modifiers, viscosity modifiers, strengthening additives, surfactants and anti-foaming agents. The electrode coating layer may include more than 70% silicon and the anode may be in a lithium ion battery.
