Carboxymethyl cellulose lithium (CMC-Li) has recently been explored as a promising binder for Li-ion batteries because of enhanced Li+ ion flux. CMC-Li has been generally prepared by CMC acid form (CMC-H) as an intermediate product treated with a strong acid, which considerably causes a polymer degr...
