Abstract
Thermal decomposition of in 1:3‐dioxolane was investigated to understand the safety aspects in its usage as an electrolyte for ambient temperature, high energy density organic electrolyte cells. TGA and direct combustion techniques were used in the studies. Attention was given to assess the volatile hydrogen cyanide content in the decomposition products, because of a possible toxic hazard. The results indicated that the thermal decomposition of at 650°C in air formed 0.01 weight percent (w/o) volatile cyanide, presumably due to impurities. However, the presence of moisture and/or the solvent (1:3‐dioxolane) enhanced the extent of cyanide generation to 0.5–1.5 w/o. Based on the results, caution is recommended in dealing with thermal runaway conditions.
