The standard conducting salt of commercial lithium-ion batteries. It provides high ionic conductivity in carbonate-based solvents while forming a protective passivation layer on the aluminum current collector; this dual property has kept LiPF6 without a substitute for decades. It has the lowest moisture (≤20 ppm) and insolubles values in the series.

Key Features

Lowest moisture in the series (≤20.0 ppm), limiting hydrolysis-driven HF formation
Forms a protective passivation layer on the aluminum current collector
Lowest insolubles content in the series at ≤200.0 ppm
