{"product_id":"cgpemtfema","title":"TFEMA {2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate} as Monomer for Gel Polymer Electrolytes (GPEs), CGPEMTFEMA","description":"\u003cp\u003eUsing TFEMA (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate) as a monomer host for gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) is a highly strategic choice, particularly for stabilizing high-voltage or next-generation metal batteries (such as high-nickel Li-metal or polyanionic\/layered sodium-ion systems). While standard polyacrylate matrices like PMMA offer good compatibility with carbonate solvents, they fail at high oxidative potentials. TFEMA bridges the gap by providing the mechanical benefits of an acrylate framework alongside the electrochemical robustness of a fluorinated backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chemical structure of TFEMA features a trifluoroethyl ester substituent: H2C=C(CH3)CO2CH2CF3. The strongly electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl (-CF3) group dramatically shifts the performance profile of the resulting gel polymer matrix: (1) \u003cstrong\u003eExpanded Electrochemical Stability Window\u003c\/strong\u003e: The primary failure mode of conventional GPEs at high voltages (\u0026gt;4.3 V vs. Li\/Li+) is the severe oxidation of the polymer backbone. The electron-withdrawing nature of the -CF3 group lowers the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) energy level of the polymer matrix. This significantly increases its resistance to oxidative attack, making it highly stable against aggressive cathodes (e.g., ultra-high nickel NCM or high-voltage sodium layered oxides). (2) \u003cstrong\u003eIn Situ Interphase Regulation (LiF\/NaF-rich SEI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: When utilizing in situ thermal or UV-initiated polymerization, residual monomers or decomposing fluorinated segments actively participate in the early-stage interphase formation. This drives the generation of a mechanically robust, highly uniform, and inorganic-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) or cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) rich in LiF or NaF. This dense inorganic layer suppresses dendritic growth and minimizes parasitic liquid electrolyte consumption. (3) \u003cstrong\u003eFlame Retardancy\u003c\/strong\u003e: The integration of stable C-F bonds into the crosslinked or linear polymer network mitigates the severe thermal runaway risks associated with traditional liquid carbonate plasticizers. Upon thermal stress, it favors the formation of a dense, fluorine-containing charred carbon layer rather than volatile combustion products. (4) \u003cstrong\u003eOptimized Swelling vs. Phase Separation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavily fluorinated monomers (like those with long perfluoroalkyl chains) suffer from extreme hydrophobicity, leading to poor compatibility and phase separation when mixed with polar battery solvents. TFEMA strikes an ideal balance: the single trifluoroethyl group provides chemical inertness while the adjacent ester\/carbonyl groups maintain enough polarity to readily swell and immobilize carbonates, ionic liquids, or deep eutectic solvents (DES) without collapsing the ionic conductivity framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 254.25px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 47.6875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.0576%; height: 47.6875px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.5827%; height: 47.6875px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCGPEMTFEMA (C-GPE-M-TFEMA)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.0576%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCAS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.5827%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e352-87-4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 57.725px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.0576%; height: 57.725px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.5827%; height: 57.725px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003eC=C(CH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)CO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/6591\/1526\/files\/CGPEMTFEMA_chemical_structure_100x100.jpg?v=1783294556\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 51.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.0576%; height: 51.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.5827%; height: 51.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n168.11 g\/mol\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.0576%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDensity\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.5827%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.181 g\/mL at 25 °C (lit.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 26.0375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.0576%; height: 26.0375px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePackage Size\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.5827%; height: 26.0375px;\"\u003e100 g\/bottle (liquid)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Please try to store the TFEMA monomer in a dry place. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1002\/adfm.202514726\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eX.
