“…For Li j j CF x batteries, the mixture of PC and DME has been widely employed to formulate Li + -ion conductive electrolytes, [9a, 13c,d, 22] due to the fact that PC has inherently a high dielectric constant (ɛ = 65.0 (PC) vs. 7.2 (DME)), [17,23] and DME owns lower viscosity (η = 2.5 (PC) vs. 0.4 cP (DME)). [17,23,24] The binary mixture regulates the dielectric constant and viscosity of the electrolytes, thus balancing the dissociation and transportation of salt in the solvent. [11a, 16h, 25] Effectively, for the equal-weight mixture of PC/DME under study, it shows a relatively high dielectric constant of 31.6 (25 °C) and low viscosity of 0.99 cP (25 °C) (Table S1), which are very close to that of the commonly used solvent mixture of EC/EMC (33.6; 1 : 1, by wt; 25 °C [27] ) for LIBs.…”
