Summary In this review, we highlight recent achievements of polymer binders used for Si‐based anodes in Li‐ion batteries. We classify the polymer binders, depending on their polymer structures and the function on performances of Si‐based anodes, into 3 types: cellulose‐type, conductive‐type and self‐healing‐type binders. The relationship between polymer structures and enhanced electrochemical performances of Si‐based anodes is discussed in details. We investigate how the binders make an extraordinary improvement on the specific capacity, cycling stability and rate performances of Si‐based anodes. The reasons of the noticeable effect on Si‐based anodes especially the controlling of swelling during cycling are also researched. In a word, the main aim of this review is to analyze recent research achievements and propose perspectives of polymer binders used for Si‐based anodes in promising Li‐ion batteries.
