In this work, the thermal decomposition of a lithium ion battery electrolyte (1 M LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate/ ethyl methyl carbonate, 50/50 wt%) with a focus on the formation of organophosphates was systematically studied. The quantification of non-ionic dimethyl fluorophosphate and diethyl fluorophosphate was performed with synthesized standards by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Due to...
