{"product_id":"clibearbftfsi","title":"RbFTFSI {[Rubidium (Fluorosulfonyl)(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide,], \u003e99.9%} Powder as Electrolyte Additive for Lithium-Ion Battery, 10-50 g\/bottle, CLIBEARbFTFSI","description":"\u003cp\u003eRbFTFSI (Rubidium (fluorosulfonyl)(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, RbN(SO2F)(SO2CF3)) is an asymmetric alkali-metal imide salt studied as a high-performance functional electrolyte additive for lithium-metal, lithium-sulfur, and next-generation rechargeable battery systems. It features an asymmetric hybrid anion (FTFSI-) that combines the rapid, inorganic-forming reactive fluorosulfonyl group (-SO2F) of FSI- with the thermally stable, flexible trifluoromethanesulfonyl group (-SO2CF3) of TFSI-.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Healing Electrostatic Shield (SHES)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Like other heavy alkali cations (Cs+, Rb+), Rb+ operates through an electrostatic shielding mechanism on lithium-metal anodes: The reduction potential of Rb+ (~ -2.93 V vs. SHE) is slightly less negative than that of Li+ (~ -3.04 V). At high local current densities (e.g., emerging dendrite tips), accumulated Rb+ ions create a localized positive electric field without being reduced into metallic rubidium. This electrostatically repels incoming Li+ ions to adjacent flat areas, forcing smooth, planar lithium deposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe asymmetric FTFSI- anion addresses the key limitations of both pure FSI- and TFSI- anions: (1) \u003cstrong\u003eInorganic-Rich SEI (LiF\/Li2S)\u003c\/strong\u003e: The weaker S–F bond on the fluorosulfonyl arm decomposes rapidly under reductive potentials at the anode, yielding a dense inner Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) rich in lithium fluoride (LiF) and lithium sulfide (Li2S). This layer provides high mechanical modulus and fast Li+ interfacial diffusion. (2) \u003cstrong\u003eSuppressed Aluminum Corrosion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pure FSI- can severely corrode the aluminum current collector at potentials above 3.8 V vs. Li\/Li+. The presence of the fluorinated -CF3 tail in FTFSI- stabilizes the cathode surface and forms a protective passivating film on aluminum, enabling higher voltage operation. (3) \u003cstrong\u003eThermal \u0026amp; Hydrolytic Stability\u003c\/strong\u003e: The asymmetric structure increases thermal decomposition resistance relative to pure FSI- while lowering electrolyte viscosity compared to pure TFSI-.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 296px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCLIBEARbFTFSI (C-LIB-EA-RbFTFSI)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 150px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 150px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 150px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRbCF4NO4S2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/6591\/1526\/files\/CLIBEARbFTFSI_02_100x100.jpg?v=1785768693\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppearance\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhite Powder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePurity\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026gt;99.9% (Battery Grade)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e331.75 g\/mol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePackage Size\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e10 g, 25 g, and 50 g\/bottle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Please store the RbFTFSI powder in the glovebox due to its sensitivity to humidity and oxygen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubs.rsc.org\/eb\/article\/doi\/10.1039\/d6eb00050a\/1244564\/Secondary-alkali-metal-salts-in-supporting\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eT.
