Lithium-ion battery binders are materials designed to hold together the active components of a lithium-ion battery, specifically the cathode and anode materials, along with the conductive additives and electrolytes. They play a crucial role in binding the coating's parts and facilitating the bonding of the layer to the metal or membrane separator.

The primary types of lithium-ion battery binders include anode binders and cathode binders. An anode binder is a material used in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries, serving as a conductive adhesive to ensure optimal electrical contact between the active materials and the current collector. It encompasses various battery chemistries such as lithium iron phosphate, lithium nickel manganese cobalt, lithium titanate oxide, and others. Materials commonly applied include polyvinylidene fluoride, carboxymethyl cellulose, polymethyl methacrylate, and styrene-butadiene copolymer. These binders find applications in various sectors, including automotive, consumer electronics, industrial, energy storage, and others.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the lithium-ion battery binders market in 2025.
