Abstract: The object of the invention is an electrode for a Li-ion battery, which contains a crosslinked polyether-siloxane copolymer (V), which can be prepared by crosslinking of siloxane macromers (S) having the average general formula (1): HaR1bSiO(4-a-b)/2??(1), where R1 is a monovalent, SiC-bonded C1-C18 hydrocarbon radical which is free of aliphatic carbon-carbon multiple bonds and a and b are nonnegative integers, with the proviso that 0.5<(a+b)<3.0 and 0<a<2, and that at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms are present per molecule, by means of polyether macromers (P) containing at least two alkenyl groups per molecule and optionally further compounds (W) containing alkenyl groups, with polyethylene glycols functionalized by one allyl group being excepted from the compounds (W) as binder; and also a process for preparing a crosslinked polyether-siloxane copolymer (V) as binder for the electrode in a Li-ion battery in a crosslinking step.
