Lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4), a lithium salt, exhibits high conductivity, low electrical charge transfer, moisture resistance, and good cyclic properties. It is suitable for a low-temperature electrolytic system. Its performance is comparable to the widely used LiPF6 system.
Synonyms: Lithium borofluoride; Lithium fluoroborate
Molecular Formula: BF4Li
Molecular Weight: 93.75
Linear Structural Formula: LiBF4
MDL Number: MFCD00011087
Purity: >=98%
Melting Point: 293-300 C (dec.) (lit.)
Application: Lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4) finds application as electrolyte material in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, the presence of trace amount of water in LiBF4 causes its hydrolysis which leads to HF generation and destruction of the battery electrodes. Our LiBF4 contains < 100 ppm of water and is well suited for applications in LIBs.
