Description

General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products that adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives. This is an enabling product that plays a crucial role in the formulation of lithium-ion batteries with increased nickel content in the cathode′s layered oxides. This contributes to higher energy density and improved overall battery performance. Click here for more information.

The structure of acetonitrile was determined by gas electron diffraction.

Application

Acetonitrile is a high purity solvent used in electrical applications and in the synthesis of high-purity materials.
