Scientific Research Applications

• Flame Retardant Additive for Lithium-Ion Batteries:BTFC and its derivatives have been synthesized and used as flame retardant additives in lithium-ion batteries. For instance, Bis(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl) ethylphosphonate, a derivative of BTFC, significantly suppresses the flammability of the electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries without impacting the electrochemical performance of the electrodes (Zhu et al., 2015).
• Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Aliphatic Ureas:BTFC has been used in the one-pot parallel synthesis of unsymmetrical aliphatic ureas. The process is efficient for both monosubstituted and functionalized alkyl amines and does not require special conditions like temperature control (Bogolubsky et al., 2014).
• Fluorinated Electrolyte for High Voltage Lithium-Ion Cells:A fluorinated electrolyte mixture containing BTFC has shown promising performance in high-voltage lithium-ion cells. This mixture is used to enhance the cycling and storage performance of these cells (Xia et al., 2016).
• Synthesis of Fluorinated Dialkyl Carbonates:BTFC has been synthesized from carbon dioxide, serving as an environmentally benign phosgene substitute. This synthesis demonstrates an effective use of carbon dioxide as a carbonyl source (Sugiyama et al., 2020).
• Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane Synthesis:BTFC is involved in the synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) by reacting with diamines. This process offers an alternative to conventional polyurethanes, avoiding the use of toxic phosgene or isocyanates (Sheng et al., 2015).
• Electrolytes for Electrochemical Capacitors:Modified electrolytes for electrochemical capacitors, including BTFC, have been explored to improve stability at higher voltages. These electrolytes demonstrate good retention of capacitance and reduced internal resistance, suggesting new strategies for enhancing the performance of supercapacitors (Krause et al., 2021).
• Cross-Linked Polymeric Networks for Implant Applications:BTFC-based bis(cyclic carbonate) was synthesized and used as a cross-linker in poly(trimethylene carbonate) networks, showing potential for implant applications due to their high gel percentage, decomposition temperature, and good mechanical properties (Yang et al., 2013).
