Tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether is used as a solvent.
일반 설명
Tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether or tetraglyme is an organic aprotic colourless solvent with film forming ability.
Safety Profile
Mildly toxic by ingestion. Experimental reproductive effects. An eye irritant. Many glycol ethers are suspected of having dangerous human reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also GLYCOL ETHERS
Purification Methods
Stand the ether over CaH2, LiAlH4 or sodium, and distil it when required. [Beilstein 1 IV 2404.]
Advantages
Tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) could be used as a bifunctional solvent which serves as both the casting solvent and active component by controlling the residual amount of TEGDME from excessive to appropriate. This method could avoid the negative impact of the residual organic solvent (such as acetonitrile) in polymer electrolytes prepared by the solution-casting method on battery performance. The residual TEGDME serves as a plasticizer in HSE that is beneficial for improving the plasticity and decreasing the crystallinity of PEO so that it can increase the mobility of lithium ions and flexibility of solid electrolytes. TEGDME can also improve the plasticity and interfacial contact[1].
