Ethylene Carbonate (EC)

Ethylene Carbonate (EC) is a cyclic carbonate used as a solvent in lithium-ion battery electrolytes. It plays a crucial role in forming the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on the anode, enhancing battery performance and safety. Widely adopted in the electronics and automotive industries, EC contributes to overcharge protection and acts as a plasticizer, improving the flexibility of polymer electrolytes.
