In this work, we use density functional theory to explain the decomposition of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) salt under SEI formation conditions. Our results suggest that LiPF 6 forms POF 3 primarily through rapid chemical reactions with Li 2 CO 3, while hydrolysis should be kinetically limited at moderate temperatures.
Electrolyte decomposition constitutes an outstanding challenge to long-life Li-ion batteries (LIBs) as well as emergent energy storage technologies, contributing to protection via solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and irreversible capacity loss over a battery''s life.

The salt is relatively stable thermally, but loses 50% weight at 200 °C (392 °F). It hydrolyzes near 70 °C (158 °F) according to the following equation forming highly toxic HF gas: LiPF6 + 4 H2O → LiF + 5 HF + H3PO4Owing to the Lewis acidity of the Li ions, LiPF6 also catalyses the tetrahydropyranylation of tertiary alcohols.
While lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) still prevails as the main conducting salt in commercial lithium-ion batteries, its prominent disadvantage is high sensitivity toward water, which produces highly corrosive
Lithium hexafluorophosphate is an important component of lithium-ion battery electrolyte, accounting for about 40% of the total cost of the electrolyte. It is mainly used in lithium-ion power batteries, lithium-ion energy storage batteries and other daily batteries.
While lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) still prevails as the main conducting salt in commercial lithium-ion batteries, its prominent disadvantage is high sensitivity toward water, which produces highly corrosive HF that degrades battery performance.

Fluorine-rich electrolytes hold promise to significantly enhance the energy and the safety of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). However, they generate acidic species, especially when lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) is used as the lithium salt.
For lithium-based batteries, which are the most common electrochemical energy storage devices today, a solution based on lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in a mixture of organic carbonates as the solvent is used.
Fluorine-rich electrolytes hold promise to significantly enhance the energy and the safety of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). However, they generate acidic species, especially when lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) is used as the lithium salt. This critical issue impedes their wide-scale utilization but has to date received minimum analysis.
