Application


  • Unraveling the Irreversible Storage of Dimethyl Carbonate-Solvated Hexafluorophosphate Anions in Graphite Electrode.: This study explores the irreversible storage mechanisms of dimethyl carbonate in graphite electrodes, crucial for enhancing electrochemical applications (Liu et al., 2024).

  • Electronic interaction between dimethyl carbonate and Li(+) studied by attenuated total reflectance far-ultraviolet spectroscopy.: This research provides insights into the electronic interactions of dimethyl carbonate with lithium ions, important for developing better electrolytes in battery technology (Sato et al., 2024).

  • Glycerol carbonate synthesis via transesterification of enriched glycerol and dimethyl carbonate using a Li-incorporated MCM-41 framework.: This paper discusses the synthesis of glycerol carbonate through transesterification, highlighting the role of dimethyl carbonate in green chemistry applications (Jitjamnong et al., 2024).

  • Dimethyl carbonate as a green alternative to acetonitrile in reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Part II: Purification of a therapeutic peptide.: This research examines the use of dimethyl carbonate as a sustainable solvent alternative in the purification processes of pharmaceutical compounds (Bozza et al., 2024).
