Binders play an important role in the commercialization of silicon anodes. Herein, two kinds of commonly used commercial binders, polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) and sodium alginate (ALG), were characterized with cyclic charge-discharge test, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that silicon electrode using binder ALG endowed enhanced cycling stability (200 cycles at 0.1 C) and low-capacity fading rate (0.2% per cycle). In comparison with silicon electrode using binder PVDF, the surface of silicon electrode using ALG was much smoother and exhibited lower impedance after cycling. Furthermore, in-situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (In-situ EQCM) was then introduced to quantitatively record the quality and current changes of electrode in real time, and the generation process of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film was further analyzed. The analysis results showed that the hydrogen bond interaction between the carboxyl group of binder ALG and the hydroxyl group on silicon electrode could enhance the adhesion of nano-silicon particles to the current collector, promote the formation of a thin and dense SEI film on the electrode surface, reduce the decomposition of electrolyte, and significantly improve the electrochemical performance. In this study, a combination of in-situ and ex-situ characterization was used to make a preliminary discussion on the mechanism of different binders during the charge and discharge process of silicon electrodes.
