초록

실리콘/탄소(SiC) 복합체는 실리콘의 높은 이론 용량과 탄소 소재의 높은 전기 전도성을 동시에 만족할 수 있어 실리콘 기반 음극의 상용화를 위한 새로운 음극 소재로서 주목받고 있다. 그러나 SiC 활물질의 반복적인 부피 변화에 따른 지속적인 전해질 소모와 용량 감소는 여전히 해결되어야 하는 문제로 여겨진다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 열적 가교 반응을 통해 네트워크 구조를 형성하는 4,4'-methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) (H12MDI) 기반의 수분산 폴리우레탄 바인더(HPUD)를 제안한다. 가교된 HPUD (CHPU)는 SiC 음극의 건조 공정 중 간단한 열처리를 통해서 가교제인 triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC)의 epoxy 고리 개환 반응을 활용하여 제조되었다. 뛰어난 기계적 특성 및 접착 특성을 가지는 CHPU 바인더를 사용한 SiC 음극은 우수한 율속 및 장기 수명 특성을 나타낼 뿐만 아니라, SiC 음극의 부피 팽창 또한 효과적으로 완화시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과는 가교 구조를 가지는 환경친화적인 바인더가 다양한 실리콘 기반 음극에 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Silicon and carbon composite (SiC) is considered one of the most promising anode materials for the commercialization of Si-based anodes, as it could simultaneously satisfy the high theoretical capacity of Si and the high electronic conductivity of carbon. However, SiC active material undergoes repeated volumetric changes during charge/discharge processes, leading to continuous electrolyte decomposition and capacity fading, which is still considered an issue that needs to be addressed. To solve this issue, we suggest a 4,4'-Methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) (H12MDI)-based waterborne polyurethane binder (HPUD), which forms a 3D network structure through thermal cross-linking reaction. The cross-linked HPUD (denoted as CHPU) was prepared using an epoxy ring-opening reaction of the cross-linker, triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC), via simple thermal treatment during the SiC anode drying process. The SiC anode with the CHPU binder, which exhibited superior mechanical and adhesion properties, not only demonstrated excellent rate and cycling performance but also alleviated the volume expansion of the SiC anode. This work implies that eco-friendly binders with cross-linked structures could be utilized for various Si-based anodes.
