Lithium hexafluorophosphate is an asleep admixture with the blueprint LiPF6. It is a
white apparent powder. It is acclimated in bartering accessory batteries, an
appliance that exploits its top solubility in nonpolar solvents. Specifically,
solutions of lithium hexafluorophosphate in propylene carbonate and
dimethoxyethane serve as an electrolyte in lithium batteries.This appliance
aswell exploits the affluence of the hexafluorophosphate anion against able
abbreviation agents, such as lithium metal.
The
alkali is almost abiding thermally, but loses 50% weight at 200 °C (392 °F). It
hydrolyzes abreast 70 °C (158 °F) according to the afterward equation:
LiPF6 +
H2O → HF + PF5 + LiOH
Owing to
the Lewis acidity of the Li+ ions, LiPF6 aswell catalyses the
tetrahydropyranylation of tertiary alcohols.
