Widely used as a solvating agent in lithium-ion batteries, enhancing electrolyte stability and ion conductivity. It effectively dissolves lithium salts and supports the formation of stable solid-electrolyte interphases, improving battery performance and cycle life. Also employed in pharmaceutical formulations to improve drug solubility and bioavailability. Its low toxicity and high solvency make it suitable for use in controlled-release systems and as an excipient in liquid dosage forms. Additionally, it serves as a reaction medium in organic synthesis, particularly in polymerization and metal-catalyzed reactions, due to its ability to stabilize reactive intermediates and coordinate with metal ions. It is also utilized in fuel cells to improve electrolyte conductivity and in nanotechnology research for precise control of nanoparticle growth.
