General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belongs to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. EMC is an enabling product, it increases the solubility of lithium ions, improving the capacity density and power of batteries. Additionally, it has excellent thermal conductivity and low electrical resistance, which extends the working temperature range of electrolytes, enhances lithium battery safety, and prolongs their service life. EMC plays a crucial role in enhancing battery performance. Click here for more information.

Application

Ethyl methyl carbonate(EMC) is used as solvents for lithium ion battery electrolytes Linear alkyl carbonates as battery grade electrolytes having extremely low water (<10 ppm) and acid (<10 ppm) contents are critical for achieving high electrochemical performance
