The use of partially fluorinated compounds as alternative solvents can increase the solubility of electrolytes and improve the performance of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs). The solubility of triethylmethylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TEMABF 4 ) in fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) was 3.0 M (M = mol dm −3 ) or more at 25°C. The molar concentration of FEC in 2.5 M TEMABF 4 solution was higher than that of propylene carbonate (PC) in 2.0 M TEMABF 4 solution. The kinematic viscosity and
