Performance of lithium-Ion cells Using 1 M LiPF6 in EC/DEC (v/v=1/2) electrolyte with ethyl propionate additive
In this work, 1 M LiPF6:EC:DEC (v/v = 1/2) was used as a baseline electrolyte where EC is ethylene carbonate and DEC is diethyl carbonate. Ethyl propionate (EP) was used as an additive. The conductivity of the liquid electrolyte was obtained at ambient and elevated temperatures. The highest room tem...

| Summary: | In this work, 1 M LiPF6:EC:DEC (v/v = 1/2) was used as a baseline electrolyte where EC is ethylene carbonate and DEC is diethyl carbonate. Ethyl propionate (EP) was used as an additive. The conductivity of the liquid electrolyte was obtained at ambient and elevated temperatures. The highest room temperature conductivity was observed at (8.05 +/- 0.16) mS cm(-1) for the electrolyte containing 28.6 vol.% EP. Viscosity of the baseline and EP added baseline electrolytes have been measured at room and elevated temperatures. The electrolyte was also characterized by linear sweep voltammetry. The highest conducting electrolyte with 28.6 vol.% EP and the baseline electrolyte were used to fabricate several batteries. The batteries were charged and discharged at room temperature and at -20A degrees C. |
