Properties and Applications
Lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate is highly soluble in water and organic solvents and shows excellent ion conductivity. It is highly soluble in polar organic solvents such as dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), ethyl acetate, and others. This compound exhibits good thermal stability and has a non-coordinating anion (triflate), which helps prevent unwanted reactions with other components in electrochemical systems.
Lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate is mixed with ceramic filler to prepare polyethylene oxide films in order to improve the electrochemical and mechanical characteristics of the membrane, which is used in the lithium batteries. It acts as a doping salt used in the preparation of nano manganese-composite polymer electrolytes.
