LiBF4

Application

LiBF4 (Lithium tetrafluoroborate) has been extensively tested for use in commercial secondary batteries, an application that exploits its high solubility in nonpolar solvents. Although BF4− has high ionic mobility, solutions of its Li+ salt are less conductive than other less associated salts. As an electrolyte in Lithium-ion batteries, LiBF4 offers some advantages relative to the more common LiPF6. It exhibits greater thermal stability and moisture tolerance. For example LiBF4 can tolerate a moisture content up to 620 ppm at room temperature whereas LiPF6 readily hydrolyzes into toxic POF3 and HF gases, often destroying the battery’s electrode materials. Disadvantages of the electrolyte include a relatively low conductivity and difficulties forming a stable solid electrolyte interface with graphite electrodes.
