Propylene Carbonate(PC), Battery Grade 500g

Propylene Carbonate (PC), Battery Grade 500g

Chemical Name: Propylene Carbonate
CAS Number: 108-32-7
Product Code: EL108-32-7
Grade: Battery Grade
Brand: Xnergy

Product Introduction

Propylene carbonate (PC) shares EC’s high dielectric constant but behaves fundamentally differently on graphite anodes. PC co-intercalates with Li⁺ into graphite layers, causing exfoliation and severe capacity loss — which limits its use in graphite-based Li-ion cells. However, this same property is absent in sodium-ion batteries, where Na⁺ does not exfoliate graphite, making PC a preferred co-solvent for Na-ion electrolytes. PC is also the solvent of choice for lithium primary cells, electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), and quasi-solid electrolyte systems where its wide liquid range (−49°C to 242°C) is a major advantage. Xnergy supplies battery-grade PC for research and development across these chemistries.

Key Features

• High dielectric constant — facilitates NaPF₆, NaFSI, and LiClO₄ dissolution in non-graphite systems
• Extremely wide liquid range (−49°C to 242°C) — suitable for extreme-temperature applications where carbonate blends fail
• Na-ion compatible — does not cause Na⁺ co-intercalation into hard carbon or graphite, ideal for Na-ion electrolytes
• Stable with Li metal — forms a stable interphase on Li-metal anodes in primary cell electrolytes
• Purity ≥99% / H₂O ≤10 ppm — battery-grade quality for consistent research results
• Flexible volumes — available from 1 kg for lab-scale work to bulk for production
