IUPAC Name
Lithium;tetrafluoroborate
Synonyms
Lithium boridefluoride
Application
Lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4) serves as a crucial electrolyte material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Its application is significantly valued due to its compatibility with modern battery technology, where maintaining low water content is essential to prevent hydrolysis and the subsequent formation of hydrofluoric acid, which can damage battery electrodes. Our formulation of LiBF4 contains less than 100 parts per million of water, optimizing it for LIB applications. As one of the key 21st-century electrolyte salts, alongside lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) and others, LiBF4 plays a vital role in the performance and longevity of lithium-ion cells. With a rapidly growing demand, forecasted by leading automotive manufacturers to reach 10-15 million pounds, and its essential use in electronics, computers, communication systems, and military applications, the importance of high-purity LiBF4 cannot be overstated.
