China’s electronic grade fluoroethylene carbonate industry continues to develop as demand for lithium batteries grows

Fluoroethylene carbonate, referred to as FEC in English, is a colorless and transparent liquid at room temperature and can be used as an intermediate for medicines and pesticides. Electronic grade fluoroethylene carbonate refers to fluoroethylene carbonate that meets relevant application standards and is used in lithium battery electrolytes. It is a core additive for the directional development of electrolytes for high-rate power lithium-ion batteries. It is the key to realizing The main guarantee of high safety and high rate of lithium batteries can enhance the stability of electrode materials.

Electronic grade fluoroethylene carbonate is mainly used in the production of lithium battery electrolyte as an additive for lithium battery electrolytes, and is ultimately used in the field of lithium batteries. Therefore, electronic grade fluoroethylene carbonate relies on the lithium battery industry chain. At present, lithium batteries and their industrial chains are mainly distributed in China, Japan, and South Korea. Therefore, China, Japan, and South Korea are also the main production areas of electronic grade fluoroethylene carbonate. Among them, Japan’s Mitsubishi, Ube, Mitsui, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Chuo Glass, South Korea’s Tempo, etc. have their own synthesis and production of additives, but they mostly produce new additives, or focus on the research and development of lithium battery electrolyte, electronic grade fluorinated ethylene carbonate As a conventional additive, its production volume is relatively small. As the world’s major lithium battery producer, China has become the world’s major producer of electronic-grade fluorinated ethylene carbonate by virtue of its complete industrial chain, strong chemical product output capabilities, scale advantages and rising technological levels. The products are not only supplied to domestic lithium battery electrolyte manufacturers, but also exported to South Korea, Japan and other countries in large quantities. The industry is relatively competitive.

At present, the production capacity and output of electronic grade fluoroethylene carbonate in China are mainly controlled by Jiangsu Huasheng Lithium Battery Materials Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Xinzhoubang Technology Co., Ltd., Suzhou Huayi New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Tianshuo Fluorosilicone In the hands of a few companies such as New Material Technology Co., Ltd. and Rongcheng Qingmu High-tech Materials Co., Ltd. In recent years, with the continuous development of the lithium battery industry, China’s electronic-grade fluoroethylene carbonate production has continued to rise. According to the released “2021-2025 China Electronic Grade Fluoroethylene Carbonate Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report It shows that in 2020, China’s electronic-grade fluoroethylene carbonate production was nearly 4,000 tons.

Analysts believe that China, as one of the world’s largest producers of electronic grade fluoroethylene carbonate, is still improving its production technology , industry leading companies represented by Suhuasheng Lithium Battery Materials Co., Ltd. have developed a synthesis route for chlorination of ethylene carbonate to produce chloroethylene carbonate and then to prepare fluoroethylene carbonate, and put it into industrial production, which not only reduces environmental pollution , and also improved product yield. With the development of technology and advancement of industrialization, China’s electronic grade fluoroethylene carbonate industry will consolidate its global position and product competitiveness will continue to improve.
