Polymer binder materials are key components of electrochemical energy storage devices. The demand for high-energy density devices is increasing across the globe. Therefore, innovative new polymer binder materials that build on the fundamental understanding of physical phenomena and structure–property relationships would be required to enable high-capacity next-generation battery chemistries. For instance, lithium-ion batteries have become one of the key choices for energy supply in portable electronic products. However, new high-performance anodes are needed to replace conventional carbon-based anodes considering the increase in energy output
