Described herein are liquid, organosilicon compounds that including a substituent that is a cyano (—CN), cyanate (—OCN), isocyanate (—NCO), thiocyanate (—SCN) or isothiocyanate (—NCS). The organosilicon compounds are useful in electrolyte compositions and can be used in any electrochemical device where electrolytes are conventionally used.

Nitrile-substituted silanes and electrolyte compositions and electrochemical devices containing them

Described herein are liquid, organosilicon compounds that including a substituent that is a cyano (&#x2014;CN), cyanate (&#x2014;OCN), isocyanate (&#x2014;NCO), thiocyanate (&#x2014;SCN) or isothiocyanate (&#x2014;NCS). The organosilicon compounds are useful in electrolyte compositions and can be used in any electrochemical device where electrolytes are conventionally used.

Disclosed are lithium/carbon monofluoride batteries suitable for long term use at highly elevated temperatures. Organosilicon electrolytes having low vapor pressure and high flash points are used, along with lithium salts and ceramic separators. Methods of using these batteries at high temperatures are also disclosed.

Lithium/carbon monofluoride batteries with organosilicon electrolytes

Disclosed are hydroxy terminated alkylsilane ethers with oligoethylene oxide substituents. They are suitable for use as electrolyte solvents and particularly well suited for use with aqueous environment electrolytic capacitors. Methods for synthesizing these compounds are also disclosed.
