Licity® battery binders - news & press releases | BASF

BASF has extended its series of Licity® anode binders for Li-ion battery manufacturing. The second-generation styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) binder Licity® 2698 X F facilitates the use of silicon contents exceeding 20%. In addition to the established properties of the Licity® product family, this binder enables higher capacity, increased number of charge/discharge cycles and reduced charging times.

BASF's battery binders pass tests compared to market standard and outperform it partially. These are the results of a recent in-depth benchmark analysis conducted by lithium-ion technology provider CUSTOMCELLS® for BASF SE.

Experts from BASF and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)  join forces in public funded project to investigate opportunities of multilayered anodes for lithium-ion batteries. Together they elaborate the limits in combining differing formulations in one coating step.

BASF markets anode binders for lithium-Ion batteries made in Europe. As a new anode binder series for Li-ion battery manufacturing., Licity^® binders combine improved battery performance with sustainability features.
