Vegetable oil based binder system for battery research

Vegetable oil based binder system for battery research

Merginat ELO and Admergin acid, two products from HOBUM Oleochemicals GmbH, were successfully used as a sustainable binder system in the manufacture of next-generation lithium-ion batteries. In a project1 funded by the German Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR), the thermally hardened system consisting of epoxidised linseed oil and maleinised conjunctive fatty acid (sunflower oil) was successfully installed in a battery cell. The results were so good that an improved system is now also being used in another ongoing battery research project.
