Abstract:
The invention generally relates to a process for preparing a metal-functionalized polyolefin and a composition useful therein, and to the metal-functionalized polyolefin prepared thereby and new non-metallic polymers prepared therefrom.
Abstract:
Battery electrolyte solutions contain certain ester solvents, a lithium salt and vinylene carbonate, vinyl ethylene carbonate or fluoroethylene carbonate. Batteries containing these solvents have excellent specific discharge capacities and reduced weight compared to batteries in which the electrolyte is based on ethylene carbonate.
Abstract:
Processes of polymerizing olefin monomers using catalyst systems and catalysts systems that include a procatalyst having a structure according to formula (I).
Abstract:
A battery electrolyte solution contains from 0.001 to 20% by weight of certain phosphorus -sulfur compounds. The phosphorus -sulfur compound performs effectively as a solid- electrolyte interphase (SEI) forming material. The phosphorus-sulfur compound has little adverse impact on the electrical properties of the battery, and in some cases actually improves battery performance. Batteries containing the electrolyte solution form robust and stable SEIs even when charged at high rates during initial formation cycles.
