General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products that adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives. This is an enabling product that plays a crucial role in the formulation of lithium-ion batteries with increased nickel content in the cathode′s layered oxides. This contributes to higher energy density and improved overall battery performance. Click here for more information.

Application

Alkyl carbonates find applications as solvents for lithium ion battery electrolytes and the use of high quality battery grade electrolytes having extremely low water (<10 ppm) and acid (<10 ppm) contents are critical for achieving high electrochemical performance.

Preparation Note

These additives have low water content (less than 100 ppm). Please handle under inert and moisture free enviornment (glove box). Keep containers tightly closed. Keep away from heat and ignition sources. Store in a cool and dry place. Avoid storing together with oxidizers.
