Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Mussels provide a clever idea for lithium battery technology! Jang Wook Choi, Haeshin Lee, and co‐workers were inspired by the unusual wet‐adhesion capability of mussels. <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">On page 1571</ext-link>, the researchers conjugate mussel‐inspired catechol groups to various polymer backbones and use them as binders for silicon lithium battery anodes. The mussel‐inspired binders increase the capacity and lifetime of silicon anodes significantly <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v8vjq67" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
