General description

Anhydrous fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) is a synthetic, organic compound that belongs to the class of compounds known as carbonates. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is highly stable and resistant to hydrolysis, making it an ideal choice for use in a variety of chemical reactions and processes. Fluoroethylene carbonate is typically produced by the reaction of fluoroacetic acid and carbon dioxide.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belongs to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. This enabling product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more information.

Application

Anhydrous battery-grade fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) is an essential ingredient in high-quality lithium-ion battery electrolytes. Its unique properties, such as its ability to form a stable SEI layer on the anode, help improve the safety, reliability, and performance of lithium-ion batteries. In particular, the addition of battery-grade FEC to the electrolyte can significantly enhance the rate capability, capacity retention, and low-temperature performance of lithium-ion batteries. Battery-grade FEC is compatible with a range of materials used in lithium-ion batteries, including lithium metal, graphite, silicon, and metal oxide cathodes, making it a versatile electrolyte additive. As the demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries continues to grow in various applications, including electric vehicles and portable electronics, the use of battery-grade FEC as an electrolyte additive is becoming increasingly important in the development of advanced battery technologies.

Features and Benefits

Fluoroethylene carbonate can enhance battery safety and improve performance. Adding battery-grade FEC to the electrolyte can significantly enhance cycle life, capacity retention, and low temperature performance compared to batteries without FEC.
✔ Improves Battery Safety
✔ Enhances Battery Performance
✔ Versatile Electrode Compatibility

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. Can you provide the product carbon footprint (PCF) of this component?

    1 answer
    1. While this is marketed as a Greener Alternative Product, unfortunately we do not have the specific information on the product's Carbon footprint.

      Helpful?

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
