The present invention provides plating solutions having either copper bis(perfluoroalkanesulfonyl) imides or copper tris(perfluoroalkanesulfonyl) methides and methods of electrochemically or chemically depositing copper interconnects using these plating solutions.

Plating solutions for electrochemical or chemical deposition of copper interconnects and methods therefor

Flame retardant carbonate polymer compositions and articles prepared therefrom are described. The carbonate polymer contains a flame retardant additive comprising metal salts of a highly fluorinated methide, amide or imide anion. The composition provides flame retardancy at relatively low levels of additive, allows a broader processing window of additive compositions and can have high transparency.

Flame retardant carbonate polymers and use thereof

Electrolyte compositions and electrochemical systems containing such compositions are described where the electrolyte includes in a matrix material a combination of a conductive salt and a bis(perfluoroalkanesulfonyl)imide surfactant salt. The compositions improve wettability of electrodes and separators while maintaining and improving conductivity, stability, and compatibility with other cell components.
