General description

Lithium hexafluorophosphate 99.9% trace metals basis is an inorganic compound that comes in white color powder. It is highly soluble in organic solvents, such as dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and ethylene carbonate (EC). It possesses excellent ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability.

Application

Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) 99.9% trace metals basis is primarily designed for R&D activities where it can be used as an electrolyte salt in lithium-ion batteries, enhancing ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability. Its high purity (99.9% trace metals basis) ensures minimal impurities, which is essential for preserving the performance and lifespan of the batteries. It can be used in research focused on the formation and stability of the SEI layer on anode surfaces. LiPF6 is used in the electrolyte solutions of supercapacitors to enhance their energy density and cycle life. It can be used to design electrolytes for improving the performance of energy storage devices.

Features and Benefits

  • 99.9% of trace metals ensure minimal impurities, which is essential for accurate and reproducible results.
  • Lower amount of trace metals Ca, Cr, Mg and K ensures performance
