Lithium Hexafluorophosphate, LiPF6

Lithium hexafluorophosphate, LiPF6, is an important material in the electrolytes of various Li-ion batteries, accounting for around 43% of the total cost of the electrolyte. Compared with LiBF4, LiAsF6, LiClO4 and other electrolytes, lithium hexafluorophosphate has better performances in solubility, conductivity, safety and environmental friendliness in organic solvents, and is currently the most popular lithium salt for electrolytes.

Despite primarily being used as a main ingredient for production of Li-ion battery electrolytes, lithium hexafluorophosphate is also used in ceramic industries and in welding electrode manufacturing. Lithium hexafluorophosphate is also used in commercial secondary batteries, prism spectrometers, and x-ray monochromators. Lithium hexafluorophosphate also catalyzes the tetrahydropyranylation of tertiary alcohol.

Poworks manufactures and supplies lithium hexafluorophosphate for a variety of applications.
