Lithium Nonafluoro-1-butanesulfonate from TCI (product code N0710) is the lithium salt of nonafluorobutanesulfonic acid, and its nonaflate anion is fully fluorinated. TCI lists this compound under battery materials, specifically battery electrolytes. In the laboratory, it serves as an alternative lithium salt in electrolyte research for lithium-ion batteries and solid polymer electrolytes. It is also used in studies of ion transport and electrochemical stability, where researchers need a well-defined, fluorinated lithium source.
Researchers choose this salt because the nonaflate anion is highly stable and weakly coordinating. The sulfonate group and the perfluorobutyl chain spread the negative charge across the anion, so lithium ions dissociate more readily in polar organic solvents and in polymer matrices. Strong carbon-fluorine bonds give the anion good chemical and thermal resistance. The salt also makes a useful comparison with more common lithium salts. For example, researchers can use it to examine how perfluoroalkyl chain length affects ionic conductivity and the formation of electrode interfaces.
In Indonesia, this material is relevant to energy and battery research laboratories at universities and research institutions. That includes groups developing electrolytes for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage systems, where interest in lithium-ion technology keeps growing. Graduate researchers and academic teams working on new electrolyte formulations, polymer electrolyte membranes, or basic electrochemical characterisation can use this TCI salt as a dependable reference material in their experiments.
