Forecasting conductivities of LiBOB-EC/DEC electrolytes by the mass triangle model

Conductivities of lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB)-ethyl carbonate (EC)/diethyl carbonaten (DEC) electrolytes at 25°C and 50°C were studied. The electrolyte component with the highest conductivity at each temperature was obtained through changing the concentration of LiBOB and the ratio of EC/DEC. The mass triangle model was applied to calculate the conductivity of Li- BOB-EC/DEC ternary system at 25°C and 50°C. The results show that the calculated and experimental results have reached a good agreement. Therefore, it is expected that the experimental work can be vastly reduced by introducing the mass triangle model.
