General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more information.

Application

Lithium fluoride (LiF) can be used as a sintering aid that facilitates the etching of spinel particles for the degradation of magnesium aluminum spinel. It can be used in the preparation of carbon-iron LiF nanocomposite based electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. It can also form thin interlayers on the counter electrode to enhance the fill factor and stabilize the high open-circuit voltages for polymer solar cells.
