Collection: Nitriles [Battery Additives]

Nitriles [Battery Additives] — compiles polyfunctional nitrile compounds and cyanocarbon derivatives that are added in small proportions to battery electrolytes. This group forms passivation layers on electrode surfaces and improves the electrochemical stability of battery systems.

Compounds such as tetracyanoethylene and multifunctional nitrile derivatives are added to lithium-ion battery electrolyte formulations to form a more stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer and improve cycling performance. Battery materials researchers and electrolyte developers use this group in functional additive studies to suppress electrolyte decomposition at high voltage.

Example products in this collection: TCI T3264 670-54-2 Tetracyanoethylene (purified by sublimation), TCI F0072 764-42-1 Fumaronitrile, TCI T0077 670-54-2 Tetracyanoethylene, TCI P1751 1274904-48-1 1,2,2,3-Propanetetracarbonitrile.

Pay attention to purity levels, for example material purified by sublimation for electrochemical applications that are sensitive to impurities, as well as the number of nitrile groups in the structure, which affects the passivation layer formation mechanism. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
