Liquid lithium salt (liquid lithium salt) is in strong demand in the field of lithium-ion batteries. Liquid lithium hexafluorophosphate is the mainstream in the market.

Lithium salt refers to salts containing lithium element. It is an inorganic compound. According to different forms, it can be divided into two categories: solid lithium salt and liquid lithium salt. Liquid lithium salt, also known as liquid lithium salt, refers to a lithium salt composed of lithium element and anions. It has the advantages of good chemical stability, good conductivity, and low production cost. It is widely used in petrochemical industry, medicine, lithium-ion batteries and other fields.

There is a correlation between liquid lithium salt production and lithium mineral resource reserves. The main producing areas of lithium ore resources in my country are concentrated in Tibet, Sichuan, Qinghai and Jiangxi. According to data released by the Ministry of Natural Resources, my country’s lithium ore resource reserves will increase by 57% year-on-year in 2022, and Jiangxi’s lithium ore resource reserves rank first in my country. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of my country’s lithium extraction technology, the utilization rate of lithium ore resources has been further improved, which has laid a good foundation for the development of the liquid lithium salt industry.

Liquid lithium salts can be divided into liquid lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), liquid lithium bisdifluorosulfonimide (LiFSI), liquid lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4), etc. Liquid lithium hexafluorophosphate is a representative product of liquid lithium salt. As an important electrolyte, it is widely used in the production process of supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries. In recent years, benefiting from the improvement of technological maturity, my country’s liquid lithium hexafluorophosphate production capacity has continued to expand and output has continued to grow, driving the prosperity of the liquid lithium salt industry to further increase.

According to the “2023-2028 China Liquid Lithium Salt (Liquid Lithium Salt) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report span>》shows that liquid lithium salts have a wide range of applications, including petrochemicals, medicine, lithium-ion batteries and other fields. In the field of petrochemical industry, liquid lithium salt can be used as a catalyst carrier to improve its reactivity; in the field of medicine, liquid lithium salt can be used to prepare antidepressant drugs, anti-epileptic drugs and anti-mania drugs; in the field of lithium-ion batteries, liquid lithium salt Salt can be used as an electrolyte in the production of lithium-ion batteries, which is the largest demand end for liquid lithium salts. It is expected that in the future, as the development of the lithium-ion battery industry accelerates, the demand for liquid lithium salt applications will become increasingly strong.

There are many liquid lithium salt manufacturers in my country, and the market competition is fierce. Shenghua New Materials, Duofuo, Yongtai Technology, Tianci Materials, Tianji Holdings, etc. are the main players in my country’s liquid lithium salt market. Yongtai Technology is my country’s leading liquid lithium salt enterprise. Currently, the company is accelerating the construction of an industrialization project with an annual output of 134,000 tons of liquid lithium salt.

Industry analysts said that liquid lithium salts have a wide range of applications and the industry has good development prospects. In the future, as the market demand for lithium-ion batteries grows, The development space of my country’s liquid lithium salt industry will be further expanded. Liquid lithium hexafluorophosphate has the characteristics of high technological maturity, low production cost, and excellent overall performance, and is a mainstream product in the liquid lithium salt market. It is expected that in the future, with technological advancement, my country’s liquid lithium salt production capacity will further expand.
