Application of Vinylene Carbonate VC

Vinylene carbonate can improve the stability of electrolytes, improve the cycle performance of batteries, increase the capacity and energy density of batteries, and improve the safety of batteries.

‌Lithium-ion battery electrolyte additives‌. Vinylene carbonate VC is an important additive in lithium-ion battery electrolytes, which can increase the capacity and cycle life of batteries. As a film-forming additive, it can form a dense SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode, thereby increasing the energy density and service life of the battery. In addition, vinylene carbonate also has good high and low temperature performance and anti-flatulence function, which can improve the stability and life of batteries in extreme environments.

‌Organic synthesis intermediates‌. Vinylene carbonate is an important intermediate for the synthesis of drugs, plant protection agents, resin paints and various other chemicals. In the field of industrial production, it has become a preferred catalyst for catalytic cracking, esterification, oxidation and other reactions due to its high activity and good selectivity.

As a precursor of polymer compounds, vinylene carbonate can react with a variety of monomers to produce materials such as polyester and polycarbonate, which are widely used in the manufacture of plastics, polyvinyl alcohol and other products.

‌Surface coating component‌. In surface coatings, vinylene carbonate is an important component used to prepare various surface coatings. The coatings made from it have excellent heat resistance, light resistance and corrosion resistance, and are suitable for various complex environments.

In the field of medicine, it is used to manufacture sustained-release drugs and biodegradable polymers. With its biocompatibility and degradability, it has become a leader in the field of biomedical materials.

Excellent Performance of Vinylene Carbonate in Battery Electrolytes

  • Vinylene carbonate has preferential reduction characteristics on the surface of graphite negative electrode, and can form a stable solid electrolyte interface film (SEI film) during the first charge and discharge process. The film thickness is about 2-5 nanometers, which can effectively prevent the continuous decomposition of the electrolyte and increase the battery cycle life by 30%-50%. A research data shows that adding 2% vinylene carbonate to the electrolyte system can increase the capacity retention rate of NCM622 ternary battery from 68% to 85% after 500 cycles at a high temperature of 45℃.

  • The compound can also inhibit the oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte at high voltages above 4.3V, broaden the electrolyte working voltage window to 5V, and is suitable for new cathode material systems such as high nickel cathodes and lithium-rich manganese-based cathodes.

  • In the solid-state battery technology route, researchers are exploring its use as an interface modifier, and the contact impedance of the negative electrode surface after pre-lithiation treatment is reduced by 60%.

  • With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the global annual demand for vinylene carbonate is gradually increasing. In the future, the application potential of this compound in new energy storage systems such as sodium ion batteries and lithium metal batteries deserves continued attention.
