DMC, a carbonate ester, is a low-toxic, environmentally friendly organic solvent that is widely used in adhesives, polycarbonate production and electrolytes. Due to its effect on improving the conductivity of lithium-ion batteries, as well as low-temperature charge and discharge performance, it is the most frequently used organic solvent in the electrolytes.
