Performance and safety/stability of Li-ion batteries can be improved by joint optimisation of the charge-storing electrode materials and charge transfer-mediating liquid electrolytes. Most of the research on this has been focused on the electrodes, whilst electrolytes are less studied. An important class of solvents used in liquid electrolytes are linear and cyclic carbonates, because of the combination of physical/chemical properties, electrochemical performance and stability in a mixture with two or more solvents together with a lithium salt. Ethylene carbonate (EC), being the only solvent able to provide the protective SEI layer, is present in almost all commercial batteries, mixed with other solvents. [1] After the determination of the crystal structure of EC [2], this contribution presents room temperature data obtained by Neutron Powder Diffraction at SPODI (FRM II), Total Scattering and temperature dependent Powder X-Ray Diffraction data from beamline P02.1 (DESY), showing the structural evolution at different temperatures.
