Title: Anion binding agent lithium salts for battery electrolytes

Abstract

A method for synthesizing a purified lithium (Li)+ anion binding agent (ABA-F)− salt and the corresponding Li+(ABA-F)− are disclosed. The method includes dissolving a boron-based acid in a polar solvent to form a solution. The solution is refluxed to form an anion binding agent. A stoichiometric amount of a small fluorinated salt, such as LiF, is added to the anion binding agent to form a mixture. The mixture is subsequently crystallized to obtain a substantially pure Li+(ABA-F)− salt. Example purified Li+(ABA-F)− salts include Ox-Li+(ABA-F), m-Li+(ABA-F), and BF3—Li+(ABA-F)−. These purified Li+(ABA-F)− salts provide the benefits of increased battery thermal safety without loss of electrochemical performance.
