Binders play a crucial role in binding electrodes, current collectors, and conductive agents during battery manufacturing. The selection of the binders and their blends considerably affect various properties such as me-chanical durability, adhesion performance, ionic/electronic conductivities, and solid electrolyte interface stability for lithium-ion batteries. In this work, polyvinylidene di-fluoride (PVDF), polyacrylic acid (PAA), poly-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and lithiated polyacrylic acid (Li-PAA) were selected as the model binders, and their blends were studied on graphene surfaces. Among them, PVDF is hardly soluble in water unlike the other binders, so in practice, the blend of PVP:PVDF is not thought to be a proper combination. However, the PVP:PVDF binder has also been included because the purpose of this work is to calculate several electronic properties such as binding energies, intermolecular interaction energies, bond critical points, electron density, and the Laplacian of electron density at critical bonding regions of all these blends at the molecular level via density functional theory (DFT) simulations in order to evaluate and compare how is the interaction strength and bonding type of three different lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) binder blends on graphene surfaces. Most stable binder pairs and their binding mechanisms on graphene surfaces were studied. The delocalization of lithium in Li-PAA was studied with the presence of water.
