Electrolyte Lithium Hexafluorophosphate for Lithium-ion Batteries

Lithium hexafluorophosphate is an inorganic compound with the formula LiPF6. Lithium hexafluorophosphate which is soluble in non aqueous polar solvents is an important chemical for the production of lithium ion batteries.
Lithium hexafluorophosphate is one of the most used electrolyte salt in the production of lithium ion batteries. Electrolyte Lithium Hexafluorophosphate for Lithium-ion Batteries has the ability of dissolving in binary and ternary solvents which cyclic carbonates and linear carbonates can be given as example. After lithium hexafluorophosphate dissolves in these solvents, it shows high electrolytic conductivity and thermal stability which is a desired property for lithium ion batteries.
There are many metal salts that are used in lithium ion battery applications but we can say that lithium hexafluorophosphate is the best one. Lithium hexafluorophosphate has different balanced properties to be used in lithium ion battery applications. For example, lithium hexafluorophosphate has a lower conductivity than lithium hexafluoroarsenate in the commonly used carbonate solvent mixtures, a lower ionic mobility than lithium tetrafluoroborate, a lower thermal stability than most of the other salts, a lower anodic stability than lithium hexafluoroarsenate and lithium hexafluoroantimonate (LiAsF6), and a lower chemical stability toward ambient moisture than lithium perchlorate and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate.
Lithium hexafluorophosphate gives the best results among the salts given above. These properties make lithium hexafluorophosphate the most used chemical in lithium ion battery applications. In 1990, lithium hexafluorophosphate was used by Sony in the first generation lithium ion cell, and since then, its position in the lithium ion industry has remained unchallenged.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from:  https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread th...

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)  have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product. Figure: Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) It ha...
