Abstract

Electrolytic characteristics of propylene carbonate (PC)ethylene carbonate (EC) mixed electrolytes were studied, compared with those in PC electrolytes. Conductivity and Li charge—discharge efficiency values increased with EC contents increasing. For example, 1 M LiClO 4ECPC (EC mixing molar ratio; [EC]/[PC] = 4) showed the conductivity of 8.5 ohm −1 cm −1, which value was 40% higher than that in PC. Also, 1 M LiClO 4ECPC([EC]/[PC] = 5) showed the Li charge—discharge efficiency of 90.5% at 0.5 mA cm −2, 0.6 C cm −2, which value was ca. 25% higher than that in PC. ECPC mixed electrolytes were considered to be practically available for ambient lithium batteries in regard to the high Li + ion conductivity and also high Li charge—discharge efficiency.
