Q1: What grade of propylene carbonate is recommended for electrolyte applications?
A: Use battery/electronic-grade propylene carbonate with very low water (< 50 ppm or supplier spec), low residual acids and trace metals — request electronic-grade CoA showing moisture, halide and metal limits

Q2: How should battery-grade PC be stored to maintain quality?
A: Store in sealed, moisture-barrier containers away from heat and sunlight; minimize headspace and use desiccant or nitrogen blanketing for long-term storage to avoid moisture pickup

Q3: Can PC be used alone as a battery electrolyte solvent?
A: PC is a high-dielectric solvent and is used in electrolytes, but final electrolyte formulations are system-specific; formulators select co-solvents, salts and additives based on cell chemistry and electrode compatibility
