Talk:Ethylene carbonate

Incorrect use of permittivity?
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_carbonate#Applications "It can be used as a high permittivity component of electrolytes in lithium batteries."

Electrolytes should have have LOW permittivity. "permittivity relates to a material's ability to resist an electric field (while unfortunately the word stem "permit" suggests the inverse quantity)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permittivity — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.216.17.99 (talk) 20:10, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

solvent for ionocaloric refrigeration, another use
"A serious contender for the future of cooling". Perspective by Emmanuel Delay, Cool it, with a pinch of salt, Science 23 Dec 22, Vol 378 issue 6626, p 1275, and article Ionocaloric refrigeration cycle same issue pp 1344-1348, by Drew Lilley and Ravi Prasher. This is a proof of concept of new approach to refrigeration, with significant advantages, and at least one drawback, but which may yield to further developments. It uses ethlyene carbonate as the solvent that is melted by NaI and regenerated by electrodialysis. AJim (talk) 03:25, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
