What is Lithium Hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6)?
Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6, CAS 21324-40-3) is the standard conducting salt in lithium-ion battery electrolytes. Dissolved in carbonate solvents, typically at about 1 M, it gives high ionic conductivity and helps passivate the aluminum cathode current collector. NanoLithium supplies LiPF6 powder for electrolyte formulation and battery research.
Applications
- Liquid electrolytes for lithium-ion cells (EC/DMC, EC/EMC blends)
- Electrolyte formulation and additive screening
- Coin-cell and pouch-cell research
Frequently asked questions
What is LiPF6 used for?
LiPF6 is the main lithium salt in commercial lithium-ion battery electrolytes, dissolved in organic carbonates to conduct lithium ions between the electrodes.
How should LiPF6 be stored?
LiPF6 is moisture-sensitive and releases HF on contact with water. Store it sealed under dry, inert conditions and handle it in a glovebox or dry room.
Can I order LiPF6 in bulk?
Yes. Use the enquiry form on this page or email [email protected] with the quantity and specification you need, and we will send a bulk quote.
Do you ship outside Canada?
Yes. NanoLithium ships from Canada to the USA, Europe, South Korea and customers worldwide. Lead time and freight are confirmed with your quote.
