Energy storage requires lithium hexafluorophosphate

How does lithium hexafluorophosphate (LIPF 6) form POF 3?

In this work, we use density functional theory to explain the decomposition of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) salt under SEI formation conditions. Our results suggest that LiPF 6 forms POF 3 primarily through rapid chemical reactions with Li 2 CO 3, while hydrolysis should be kinetically limited at moderate temperatures.

Can density functional theory explain lithium hexafluorophosphate salt decomposition?

Major strides have been made to understand the breakdown of common LIB solvents; however, salt decomposition mechanisms remain elusive. In this work, we use density functional theory to explain the decomposition of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) salt under SEI formation conditions.

What are the disadvantages of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6)?

(American Chemical Society) While lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) still prevails as the main conducting salt in com. lithium-ion batteries, its prominent disadvantage is high sensitivity toward water, which produces highly corrosive HF that degrades battery performance.

Is lithium hexafluorophosphate a Gordian Knot?

Undesired chemical degradation of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) in non-aqueous liquid electrolytes is a Gordian knot in both science and technology, which largely impedes the practical deployment of large-format lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in emerging applications (e.g., electric vehicles).

Can lithium fluorosulfonimide salts stabilize LIPF 6 based electrolytes?

From a fresh perspective that the decomposition of LiPF 6 in non-aqueous liquid electrolyte is likely to be induced by hydrogen fluoride (HF) and other protic impurities, we herein report the incorporation of lithium fluorosulfonimide salts (LFSs) as an effective and practical applicable strategy for stabilizing LiPF 6 -based electrolytes.

Do organic phosphate compounds improve thermal stability of lithium-based cells?

Hyung et al. (2003) investigated a group of organic phosphate compounds, triphenylphosphate (TPP) and tributylphosphate (TBP) and found that they markedly improved the thermal stability of lithium-based cells.
