Main Applications
Battery Industry:
Electrolyte Solvent for Lithium-Ion Batteries:
High dielectric constant (ε≈69) and excellent ionic conductivity make it a core component of lithium battery electrolytes (often mixed with ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate).
Capacitor Electrolyte:
Used in aluminum electrolytic capacitors to enhance high-temperature resistance.
Gas Separation:
Decarbonization Solvent:
Selectively absorbs CO2 and H2S, widely applied in industrial processes like ammonia synthesis and natural gas purification (e.g., modified Benfield process).
Polymer Materials:
Solvent and Intermediate:
Dissolves polymers like polyacrylonitrile and PVC for spinning and coating;
Serves as a raw material for synthesizing polycarbonates and polyurethanes.
Fragrance and Pharmaceutical Industries:
Acts as a solvent and fixative in fragrance production;
Used as an intermediate for synthesizing anticonvulsant drugs (e.g., valproic acid derivatives).
Other Applications:
Textile industry as a dyeing solvent;
Cosmetics as a humectant and solvent;
Coatings industry to adjust viscosity and drying rate.
Safety and Storage
Toxicity:
Low toxicity, oral LD50 for rats ≈2.9 g/kg;
Mildly irritating to skin and eyes; avoid prolonged contact.
Flammability:
Combustible, flash point 132°C (closed cup); avoid high heat and open flames.
Storage Conditions:
Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from oxidizing agents and acids;
Use stainless steel or aluminum containers; avoid long-term contact with iron, copper, or other metals (may catalyze decomposition).
Environmental Impact:
Low biodegradability; prevent leakage into water bodies or soil.
