Description
Lithium tetrafluoroborate, (LiBF4), lithium hexafluorophosphate, (LiPF6), lithium hexafluoroarsenate, (LiAsF6), lithium trifluoromethane sulfonate, (LiSO3CF3), are the electrolyte salts of the 21st Century. The performance of lithium ion cells, primary and secondary lithium cells depends on the purity of these compounds. Several hundred tons of these materials have been produced and many more tons -- and perhaps thousands of tons w will be required in the near future. One of the largest automotive producers predicts that there may be a market for 10-15 million pounds of these salts. The demand for Lithium ion primary cells is also very huge in electronics, computers, communication systems and military applications.

Uses
Catalyst in organic synthesis; electrolyte for lithium ion batteries. Lithium tetrafluoroborate is a mild Lewis acid for Diels-Alder reactions. Catalyst for mild and efficient aminolysis of oxiranes. It is a reagent used in the preparation of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. 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.
