Step-by-step Synthesis Sodium

hexafluorophosphate (NaPF6) electrolyte for


Sodium-Ion Batteries
The synthesis process of sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF6) electrolyte for
sodium-ion batteries can be divided into the following steps:

1. Preparation of sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF6) salt: This can be done by


reacting sodium hydroxide with hydrogen hexafluorophosphate to form
NaPF6 salt.
2. Dissolution of NaPF6 salt in a solvent: The NaPF6 salt can be dissolved in a
polar aprotic solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or propylene
carbonate (PC).
3. Addition of stabilizing agents: To improve the stability of the electrolyte,
stabilizing agents such as vinylene carbonate (VC) or ethylene carbonate (EC)
can be added.
4. Filtering the solution: The resulting solution can be filtered to remove any
impurities.
5. Filling the solution in the battery: The NaPF6 electrolyte solution can then be
filled in the sodium-ion battery.
