Application
Lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) plays a pivotal role in various electrical and electronic applications due to its high solubility in water and ability to weakly coordinate with cations. It serves multiple purposes, including the preparation of chiral imidazolium salts via anion metathesis and enhancing the conductivity and hole mobility of Spiro-OMeTAD in perovskite solar cells, akin to its role in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. Additionally, LiTFSI is beneficial in organic electrolyte-based lithium batteries, both primary and secondary, and is also instrumental in the development of rare-earth Lewis acid catalysts. Notably, LiTFSI is preferred over lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) due to its improved safety profile. Furthermore, recent advancements by researchers have significantly reduced the time required for doping processes involving LiTFSI and Spiro-OMeTAD, enhancing efficiency in the production of perovskite solar cells.
