Abstract

A new method to synthesize inorganic lithium based fluorinated compounds like LiAsF6 (Lithium hexafluoro arsenate) has been developed by a low temperature solid state procedure. LiAsF6 is used extensively in the lithium cells because of its stability to withstand high voltages during cycling. The procedure developed to synthesize lithium based fluorinated compounds is a single step procedure and fluorination is done in-situ. This is an environmentally friendly method and is less expensive than the other known procedures.
