Methyl difluoroacetate (MFA) was used as an electrolyte solvent in Li/CuCl2 batteries, and the LiPF6/MFA electrolyte was effective for the suppression of the self-discharge of Li/CuCl2 batteries. The dependence of self-discharge behavior on LiPF6 concentration (1.0, 1.4, 1.8, 2.2, and 2.7 mol dm−3) in MFA-based electrolytes was investigated. The lowest self-discharge was observed for a 2.2 mol dm−3 LiPF6/MFA electrolyte under the described conditions, and an initial discharge capacity of 395 mAh g−1 was maintained after 678 h (4 weeks) of rest. The cycling performance of the LiPF6/MFA electrolytes was evaluated, and the discharge capacity for the 2.2 mol dm−3 LiPF6/MFA electrolyte was found to be maintained at 183 mAh g−1 (10th cycle). Therefore, 2.2 mol dm−3 LiPF6/MFA electrolyte is confirmed to be effective for the suppression of the self-discharge of Li/CuCl2 batteries.
The first CH/π solute-solvent interaction of C(60) was evidenced by the kinetic solvent effects in the Diels-Alder reaction with 1,3-cyclohexadiene based on the evaluation of linear free energy relationship of log k(2) with empirical solvent polarity and basicity parameters, E(T)(30) and D(π), respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
