General description

Propylene carbonate (PC) is an organic amide compound generally used as solvent in organic electrochemistry. It is considered as a high-permittivity component of electrolytes.
Visit our Sensor Applications portal to learn more.

Application

It has been used to exfoliate graphite oxide by bath sonication. It has also been used to prepare 1M lithium perchlorate, which served as electrolyte in measurement of thin-film of orthorhombic Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5).
