Application

Ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) serves as a crucial component in the realm of lithium-ion batteries, primarily functioning as a high-quality co-solvent in nonaqueous electrolytes. This colorless, transparent liquid, characterized by its slight irritant odor, plays a pivotal role in enhancing the performance of such batteries. By increasing the solubility of lithium ions, EMC significantly boosts both the energy density and discharge capacity of the batteries. Furthermore, its excellent thermal conductivity and low electrical resistance help in extending the operational temperature range, thereby improving the overall safety and longevity of the battery systems. Its synthesis often involves metal oxide-catalyzed transesterification using dimethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate, achieving high yields in either liquid or vapor phase reactions. Overall, EMC is vital for improving the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries, due to its ability to enhance the battery's capacity and efficiency while ensuring safety and durability.
