Abstract

Methyl propyl carbonate (MPC) solutions containing Li salts can be used as a single‐solvent electrolyte without addition of ethylene carbonate (EC). Graphite electrodes can be cycled at high reversible capacity in MPC solutions containing and . The use of acyclic, unsymmetric alkyl carbonate solvents, such as ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) and MPC in Li‐ion based electrolytes, increases the stability of the graphite electrode. Whereas a small amount of EC is still needed as cosolvent in EMC solutions to obtain stable surface films on graphite electrodes, we show here that the surface films produced on graphite in MPC solutions (without added EC) are highly stable, allowing reversible Li‐ion intercalation. To understand this trend, we investigated the surface chemistry developed on lithium and carbon electrodes in MPC solutions in conjugation with electrochemical studies.

An electrolyte using methyl propyl carbonate has superior solid electrolyte interphase formation capability than ethyl methyl carbonate as a single solvent with both LiPF6 and LiAsF6 salts, but no low-temperature performance improvement was reported.
“It was shown by Ein-Eli et al. [28] that the electrolyte using methyl propyl carbonate (MPC) has even more superior SEI formation capability than EMC as a single solvent with both LiPF 6 and LiAsF 6 salts, but no LT performance improvement was reported.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
