Practical employment of silicon (Si) electrodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is limited due to the severe volume changes suffered during charging-discharging process, causing serious capacity fading. Here, a composite polymer (CP-10) containing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) and poly-lysine (PL) is proposed for the binder of Si-based anodes, and a multifunctional strategy of "in-situ crosslinking" is achieved to alleviate the severe capacity degradation effectively. A cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) network is established through the strong hydrogen bonding interaction and reversible electrostatic interactions within CP-10, offering favorable mechanical tolerance for the extreme volume expansion of Si. Moreover, hydrogen bonding interaction along with ion-dipole interaction formed between CP-10 and Si surface enhance the bonding capability of Si-based anodes, promoting the maintenance of anodes' integrity. Consequently, over 800 cycles are achieved for the Si@CP-10 at 0.5C while maintaining a fixed discharge specific capacity of 1000 mAh g. Moreover, the Si/C@CP-10 can stably operate over 500 cycles with a capacity retention of 77.12 % at 1C. The prolonged cycling lifetime of Si/C and Si anodes suggests great potential for this strategy in promoting the implementation of high-capacity LIBs.
由于在充放电过程中遭受严重的体积变化，硅（Si）电极在锂离子电池（LIBs）中的实际应用受到限制，导致严重的容量衰减。在这里，提出了一种含有羧甲基纤维素钠（CMC-Na）和聚赖氨酸（PL）的复合聚合物（CP-10）作为 Si 基负极的粘结剂，并实现了一种“原位交联”的多功能策略，有效地缓解了严重的容量退化。通过 CP-10 内的强氢键相互作用和可逆静电相互作用，建立了交联的三维（3D）网络，为 Si 的极端体积膨胀提供了良好的机械耐受性。此外，CP-10 与 Si 表面之间形成的氢键相互作用和离子偶极相互作用增强了 Si 基负极的结合能力，促进了负极完整性的维持。因此，Si@CP-10 在 0.5C 时可实现超过 800 个循环，同时保持 1000 mAh g 的固定放电比容量。此外，Si/C@CP-10 在 1C 时可稳定运行超过 500 个循环，容量保持率为 77.12%。Si/C 和 Si 阳极的长循环寿命表明，该策略在促进高容量 LIBs 的实施方面具有巨大的潜力。
