NMP industry information
NMP (N-Methylpyrrolidone) is primarily produced via the BDO synthesis route. This involves first synthesizing γ-butyrolactone (GBL) from 1,4-butanediol (BDO), which then reacts with methylamine to form NMP. This method is currently the most reliable and mature industrial production route. With a long history of industrial use, this process is highly optimized, offering large-scale production, high efficiency, and low costs.
NMP (full name: N-Methylpyrrolidone), chemical formula C₅H₉NO, is a clear, colorless liquid and one of the most widely used auxiliary materials in lithium battery production.
Role in Electrode Production: When making electrode sheets, NMP acts as a solvent to mix binders, active materials (like cathode materials), and conductive agents into a uniform slurry. This ensures all components bond evenly.
Overview of NMP
N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) is a nitrogen-containing compound (C5H9NO) with a boiling point of 204°C. It’s a liquid with a slight ammonia smell, mixes well with water, and blends easily with most solvents like ethanol, aldehydes, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP)
N-Methylpyrrolidone, or NMP, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₅H₉NO. It appears as a colorless to light-yellow transparent liquid with a slight ammonia-like odor. NMP mixes completely with water in any ratio and is also soluble in ether, acetone, esters, halogenated hydrocarbons, aromatic solvents, and almost all other organic solvents.
