    Abstract: A self-repair binder for batteries and its preparation method, which consists of binder, additives, solvent, and self-repair agent. The self-repair agent includes polymer microcapsules, which consist of capsule wall material and repair liquid core material. Additives act as thickeners to improve the viscosity and flowability of the binder, making it easier to apply and coat on the battery surface. The self-repair agent can be encapsulated by polymer microcapsules, allowing it to automatically release the repair binder when the battery suffers minor damage, thus achieving self-repair functionality. Additionally, the repair binder has excellent interfacial bonding with both the binder and the active materials of the cathode and anode, ensuring long-term repair effectiveness.
