Product Overview
Sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF₆) is a white crystalline inorganic salt belonging to the family of hexafluorophosphate compounds. As the sodium analogue of the widely used lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF₆), it serves as a key electrolyte salt and an essential raw material in the manufacture of advanced ionic conductors and functional fluorine chemicals. It combines high ionic conductivity potential with a stable hexafluorophosphate [PF₆]⁻ anion, making it a versatile intermediate for both energy and fine-chemical applications.
Applications
Battery & Energy Storage: Used as an electrolyte salt or additive in sodium-ion battery research, supercapacitors, and novel energy-storage systems where Na⁺-conductive electrolytes are required.
Electrochemistry: Serves as a supporting electrolyte for electrochemical analysis, electrodeposition, and ionic-liquid-based systems.
Fluorine Chemistry: Acts as a fluorinating / phosphorus-fluorine building block in the synthesis of organophosphorus and organofluorine intermediates.
Catalyst & Fine Chemicals: Applied as a precursor or reagent in catalysis and high-purity inorganic synthesis.
Product Advantages
High Ionic Conductivity: The [PF₆]⁻ anion supports efficient ion transport, valuable for electrolyte formulations.
Consistent Quality: Produced with controlled purity and low moisture content for reproducible performance.
Broad Compatibility: Good solubility in both aqueous and polar organic media offers flexible formulation.
Versatile Platform: A reliable sodium-based alternative for emerging battery and electrochemical applications.
Storage & Handling
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area; keep container tightly sealed to exclude moisture.
Avoid contact with water/humidity for extended periods; handle with appropriate gloves and eye protection.
Shelf life is longest under inert, anhydrous storage conditions.
