LiGa(OTf)₄ as an Electrolyte Salt for Li-Ion Cells

Lithium tetrakis(trifluoro- methanesulfonato) gallate [abbreviated “LiGa(OTf)4” (wherein “OTf” signifies trifluoro- methanesulfonate)] has been found to be promising as an electrolyte salt for incorporation into both liquid and polymer electrolytes in both rechargeable and non-rechargeable lithium-ion electro- chemical cells. This and other ingredients have been investigated in continuing research oriented toward improving the performances of rechargeable lithium-ion electrochemical cells, especially at low temperatures.
