LiBOB: The Key to Stable Graphite Anodes in Lithium-Ion Batteries
The performance of lithium-ion batteries is intrinsically linked to the stability of their electrodes, particularly the graphite anode. Exfoliation and degradation of graphite can lead to capacity loss and reduced cycle life. Lithium Bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB), with CAS number 244761-29-3, has emerged as a crucial component for addressing these challenges, offering unparalleled stability to graphite anodes. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a leading manufacturer and supplier in China, provides high-quality LiBOB to facilitate these advancements.
Graphite anodes are susceptible to degradation, especially in certain electrolyte formulations. However, research indicates that LiBOB is exceptionally effective in forming a protective film on the graphite surface during the initial lithiation process. This passivation layer prevents the exfoliation of graphite, even in solvents like propylene carbonate (PC) which can be problematic for graphite anodes when used with other salts. This stabilization capability makes LiBOB a highly sought-after conductive salt for lithium-ion battery electrolytes.
As a key player in the chemical industry, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. emphasizes the importance of LiBOB's role in ensuring reversible lithium-ion intercalation and deintercalation at the graphite anode. The formation of this protective film contributes to a reduced irreversible electrolyte consumption during the initial charging cycles, mirroring the performance of state-of-the-art electrolytes. This efficiency is critical for battery manufacturers looking to buy materials that guarantee optimal performance and longevity.
Moreover, LiBOB's contribution to electrolyte stability extends beyond the anode. Its inherent thermal stability and its ability to act as a hydrofluoric acid (HF) scavenger enhance the overall robustness of the electrolyte system. This dual functionality makes LiBOB a versatile electrolyte additive and a preferred lithium salt for high-performance battery applications.
For battery developers aiming to push the boundaries of energy storage, incorporating LiBOB into their electrolyte formulations is a strategic decision. It not only stabilizes the critical graphite anode but also contributes to improved coulombic efficiency and rate performance. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to supply this advanced material, supporting the development of safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries.
