Methyl propyl carbonate (MPC) shows a liquid temperature range that is wider than that of diethyl carbonate (DEC). Monofluorinated organic solvents exert the strong polar effect on the physical and the electrochemical properties. 2-Fluoropropyl methyl carbonate (2FPMC) and ethyl 2-fluoroethyl carbonate (E2FEC) are isomeric with each other. The relative permittivity and viscosity of 2FPMC were higher than those of E2FEC, MPC, and DEC. The ionic conductivity of 1 mol dm −3 LiPF 6 solution in 2FPMC was lower than those in E2FEC, MPC, and DEC. The use of 2FPMC as a co-solvent greatly improved cycling efficiency of a lithium anode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
