Both CCTS and PEO show a high electrochemical oxidation potential of above 5.0 V（vs. Li/Li＋）. The electrochemical performances of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4（LNMO） cathodes with CCTS/PEO composite binders of different mass rates are investigated, it is found that LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode with an optimized CCTS/PEO（85/15, w/w） composite exhibits a slightly better cycling performance than that of polyvinylidene fluoride（PVDF）, retaining 81.4% capacity as compared with 79.8% for PVDF at 0.5C rate after 200 cycles. LNMO with PEO/CCTS（85/15,w/w） exhibited the better rate capability than that of PVDF. These results demonstrate that CCTS/PEO composite can be potentially used as a water-soluble binder for 5 V LNMO cathode.展开更多
