✅ The Challenge
A U.S.-based battery materials company developing next-generation lithium-ion and solid-state battery technologies faced challenges in electrolyte formulation. Their existing acid additives introduced:
- Corrosive byproducts that shortened battery shelf life
- Residual chloride content that accelerated cell degradation
- Inconsistent purity levels that affected electrochemical performance
- Difficulties sourcing REACH-registered acids for export-oriented cell manufacturing
They needed a clean, high-purity, low-chloride acid additive that could function as a co-solvent stabilizer in high-voltage electrolyte systems.
🧪 The Solution
HoriazonChemical provided ultra-high purity methane sulfonic acid (MSA, 70%), tailored for energy storage applications:
- Purity ≥ 99.9% (dry basis)
- Chloride content < 10 ppm
- Ultra-low metal impurities for clean electrochemical environments
- Supplied in 30 kg PE drums, sealed with nitrogen blanketing
- Full documentation including REACH, COA etc.
- Custom sampling for internal R&D QC and pilot formulation
Technical support was provided for blending MSA into LiPF₆-based electrolytes and water-reduction protocols.
📈 The Results
✔️ Improved Electrolyte Stability
Blended electrolyte showed improved voltage retention and thermal tolerance.
✔️ Lower Corrosive Residue
Chloride-free MSA eliminated the need for post-synthesis neutralization steps.
✔️ Enhanced Battery Shelf Life
Electrochemical aging tests showed 9% longer storage stability under accelerated aging.
✔️ Compliant for Global Markets
Product met U.S., EU, and East Asia regulatory standards for battery exports.
