Lithium bis(oxalato)borate

A borate salt used as an additive at a few percent to stabilise the SEI and the aluminium collector at high voltage and temperature; LiDFOB is its fluorinated relative with better solubility. [1]

Abbreviation
LiBOB
Also called
LiDFOB

Example

Electrolytes and separators: an example situation

Greater liquid uptake may improve wetting while changing mechanical behavior. Several properties define separator performance.

Read Lithium bis(oxalato)borate alongside Electrolyte additive in this context. A compound added to the electrolyte at a few percent to improve one property — vinylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate build a tougher SEI, others suppress gassing or overcharge. Additive packages are among a cell maker’s closest secrets.

Use in Lemonergy
