Abstract

Alkylsilane ethers, containing one or three carbon spacer groups between the silicon atom and oligo(ethylene oxide) moiety, were designed and synthesized. These compounds are non-hydrolyzable and less flammable than their alkoxysilane counterparts. A full cell test using them as electrolyte solvents showed good cycling performance in lithium-ion batteries.
