Electrochemical and Infrared Studies of the Reduction of Organic Carbonates

Electrolytes typically used in lithium batteries consist of a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent, or a mixture of these solvents. The solvents fall into two general classes: ethers or alkyl esters of carbonic acid. Because of lower volatility and higher flash point, the organic carbonates...

Description
Summary:Electrolytes typically used in lithium batteries consist of a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent, or a mixture of these solvents. The solvents fall into two general classes: ethers or alkyl esters of carbonic acid. Because of lower volatility and higher flash point, the organic carbonates are the preferred solvent class in commercial batteries. Propylene carbonate (PC) has many
