Tight purity requirements for lithium battery electrolyte additives (CEC, VC, EC) make light source selection critical for photochemical production.
Two mainstream UV solutions are available for CEC synthesis: medium & high-pressure UV lamps and UV-LED. Each has distinct strengths and limitations.
✅ PRST UV Medium & High-Pressure UV Lamps
Broad continuous spectrum, high photon flux, fast reaction rate, suitable for large continuous production lines
Mature for scale-up, low single-kilowatt cost, stable performance for mass manufacturing
Higher heat generation, needs cooling design
✅ UV-LED Light Source
Monochromatic wavelength, low heat output, energy-saving, compact structure
Precise wavelength matching for targeted reactions, good for small-batch & pilot R&D
Higher investment cost at large scale, limited total radiant power
Recommendation
For mass CEC commercial production: Medium-high pressure UV lamps are preferred For lab screening, small pilot batches: UV-LED is ideal
