PCS (1,3-Propanediol cyclic sulfate, also named 1,3,2-Dioxathiane 2,2-dioxide), is a cyclic sulfonate additive (similar to PS and PES) used in Lithium-Ion Battery (LIB) electrolytes. Its primary function is to enhance the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) on the anode and stabilize the Cathode Electrolyte Interphase (CEI), especially for cells operating at high voltage and high. PCS has a lower reduction potential than standard carbonate solvents, causing it to decompose preferentially on the anode (graphite, silicon) during the initial charge cycles. The reduction involves the ring-opening of the molecule temperature. PCS's decomposition yields inorganic sulfur-containing species, such as Li2SO3 and various Li alkyl sulfonates. These components integrate into the SEI to create a film.
