The unique electrolyte composition formulation technology developed by Asahi Kasei has enabled acetonitrile as an electrolyte for LIBs, which industry experts previously thought was impossible. This electrolyte, which demonstrates lithium-ion conductivity superior to conventional electrolytes, achieves both improved low-temperature performance and high-temperature durability. It also contributes to downsizing by increasing capacity through thicker electrode films and reducing the number of required components.
