Propylenecarbonate, CAS: 108-32-7

Key Applications:

1. Electrolytes for Lithium‑Ion and Sodium‑Ion Batteries

• Used as a high‑dielectric co‑solvent to dissolve lithium and sodium salts (e.g., LiPF₆, NaClO₄).
• Enhances ionic conductivity, low‑temperature performance, and electrolyte stability.
• Common in graphite‑free anode systems, hard‑carbon anodes, and solid–liquid hybrid electrolytes.

2. Supercapacitors and Electrochemical Capacitors

• Serves as a stable, low‑viscosity solvent for high‑voltage organic electrolytes.
• Supports wide operational temperature ranges and long cycle life.

3. Solvent for Polymers, Resins, and Coatings

• Effective in dissolving polyurethanes, cellulose derivatives, acrylates, and epoxies.
• Used in high‑performance coatings, adhesives, inks, and sealants requiring slow evaporation and strong solvency.

4. Carbon Capture & Gas Treatment

• Functions as a physical absorbent for CO₂, H₂S, and other acid gases.
• Applied in gas purification, natural gas sweetening, and post‑combustion capture systems.

5. Electrochemical and Catalytic Processes

• Acts as a green, aprotic reaction medium for:
  • Organometallic catalysis
  • Oxidation and reduction reactions
  • Polymerization and depolymerization studies
• Offers high stability under electrochemical potentials.

6. Cleaning, Degreasing & Electronics Processing

• Used as a precision cleaning solvent for electronic components due to low toxicity and strong solvency.
• Effective in removing flux residues, oils, and ionic contaminants.

7. Plasticizer and Additive in Polymer Formulations

• Improves flexibility, processability, and thermal stability in plastics and elastomers.
• Common in PVC, polycarbonate blends, and urethane systems.

8. Personal Care & Cosmetic Formulations

• Functions as a viscosity modifier, solvent, and stabilizer in select cosmetic and personal‑care products.
• Supports fragrance solubilization and controlled evaporation.
