Abstract
Lithium borate and aluminate salts bearing a hexafluoroisopropoxy ligand have been prepared and investigated for use in lithium-ion batteries and Cu‖Li cells. Lithium aluminate salts have poorer air tolerance but Li[Al(hfip)4] resulted in superior battery cycling, with lower overpotentials for plating and stripping in Cu‖Li cells.
