Binders¶
Binder materials (e.g., PVDF, CMC, SBR) used in electrode formulations.
Binder material definitions for electrode formulations.
Classes¶
Binder(name: str, specific_cost: float, density: float, color: str = '#2c2c2c', *, volume=None, mass=None, **kwargs)
Bases: _VolumedMaterialMixin, _Material
Binder material used in electrode formulations.
Binders (e.g., PVDF, CMC) provide mechanical cohesion between active material particles and conductive additives in the electrode coating.
Initialize a binder material.
Parameters¶
name : str Name of the binder material (e.g., "PVDF", "CMC"). specific_cost : float Specific cost of the material in $/kg. density : float Density of the material in g/cm³. color : str, optional Hex color string for visualization (default: "#2c2c2c"). volume : float or None, optional Initial volume in cm³. mass : float or None, optional Initial mass in g.
