General description

Lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF₄) is a versatile compound with significant applications in research, particularly in the fields of battery technology, solid-state batteries, supercapacitors, electrochemical sensors, catalysis, electrolyte development, polymer electrolytes, and environmental studies.

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 tetrafluoroborate (LiBF₄) is used as an electrolyte salt in lithium-ion batteries. It contributes to the overall ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and helps in achieving better battery performance. LiBF₄ is used as an electrolyte additive in supercapacitors to enhance their performance, particularly in terms of energy density and charge-discharge cycles. It can be used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. Its properties can help improve the efficiency and selectivity of catalytic processes. In a study, it was reported that lithium tetrafluoroborate can serve as an efficient catalyst for the intermolecular aza-Michael addition of aromatic amines to electron-deficient alkenes. The suitability of this catalyst for intramolecular aza-Michael addition, resulting in the formation of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones, was also described. Lithium tetrafluoroborate is a mild Lewis acid for Diels-Alder reactions. It is used as a catalyst for mild and efficient aminolysis of oxiranes.[1][2][3][4]
