Binder

IRI: https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/electrochemistry#electrochemistry_68eb5e35_5bd8_47b1_9b7f_f67224fa291e

Description

A binder is a component in many electrode formulations, ensuring mechanical stability and cohesion of active materials and conductive additives within the electrode structure. Binders help maintain electrode integrity during charge and discharge cycles, preventing material detachment and enhancing overall electrochemical performance.

Commonly used binders in electrochemical systems include:

Common Binders

Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR)	StyreneButadiene	IRI: https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/chemical-substance#substance_210edf30_ad63_438c_97db_f817942db49b
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)	CarboxymethylCellulose	IRI: https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/chemical-substance#substance_d36fbe2f_6b0a_4178_b6ca_7373bdefcb51

Guidelines for Use

To represent a Binder in the ontology, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Binder Define the material using the domain-chemical-substance ontology combined with the Binder class in the electrochemistry domain.

2. Assign Properties Specify annotation properties (e.g., molecularFormula) and objective properties (e.g., Viscosity, GlassTransitionTemperature).

3. Link the Binder to a Functional Whole Use the hasBinder property to associate the binder with an ElectrodeCoating.

Step 1: Identifying the Binder

Example: Defining PVDF as a binder:

{
  "@context": "https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/electrochemistry/context",
  "@type": ["Binder", "PVDF"]
}

Step 2: Assigning Properties

Example: Adding properties to PVDF:

{
  "@context": "https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/electrochemistry/context",
  "@type": ["Binder", "PVDF"],
  "molecularFormula": "C2H2F2",
  "hasProperty": [
    {
      "@type": "GlassTransitionTemperature",
      "hasNumericalPart": {
        "@type": "RealData",
        "hasNumericalValue": -39
      },
      "hasMeasurementUnit": "emmo:DegreeCelsius"
    }
  ]
}

Step 3: Linking the Binder to a Functional Whole

Example: Associating PVDF with an electrode coating:

{
  "@context": "https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/electrochemistry/context",
  "@type": "ElectrodeCoating",
  "hasBinder": {
    "@type": ["Binder", "PVDF"],
    "molecularFormula": "C2H2F2",
    "hasProperty": [
      {
        "@type": "GlassTransitionTemperature",
        "hasNumericalPart": {
          "@type": "RealData",
          "hasNumericalValue": -39
        },
        "hasMeasurementUnit": "emmo:DegreeCelsius"
      }
    ]
  }
}
