Sodium tetrafluoroborate, CAS: 13755-29-8

Key Application:

Electrolytes and Energy Storage

• Serves as a precursor for synthesizing tetrafluoroborate‑based salts used in non‑aqueous electrolytes.
• Supports development of ionic‑liquid and molten‑salt electrolyte systems for high‑voltage batteries and electrochemical devices.
• Utilized in research on fluoroborate‑stabilized electrolyte additives that enhance conductivity and thermal stability.

Catalysis and Organic Synthesis

• Functions as a fluoroborate source in the preparation of BF₄⁻ salts of organometallic and organic cations.
• Applied in phase‑transfer and Lewis‑acid‑mediated transformations where BF₄⁻ provides a weakly coordinating counterion.
• Enables synthesis of ionic liquids, quaternary ammonium salts, and pyridinium/imidazolium derivatives.

Materials Science and Inorganic Chemistry

• Used in the formation of metal tetrafluoroborates for coordination chemistry, thin‑film precursors, and advanced materials research.
• Supports development of fluoroborate‑based ceramics, glasses, and specialty inorganic materials requiring controlled fluorine incorporation.

Analytical Chemistry

• Employed as a reagent for generating BF₄⁻ complexes in spectroscopic and electroanalytical studies.
• Useful for calibrating or validating methods involving fluoroborate detection or counterion exchange.

Industrial and Process Chemistry

• Acts as a fluorinating agent or fluorine donor in selected inorganic synthesis routes.
• Utilized in salt metathesis processes to introduce the BF₄⁻ anion into target compounds with high purity.
