LiBOB (Lithium bis(oxalato)borate), with the chemical formula LiB(C?O?)?, is an advanced lithium salt used as an electrolyte additive or substitute in lithium-ion batteries. It offers superior thermal stability, a wide electrochemical window, and strong resistance to hydrolysis, making it ideal for enhancing battery safety, cycle life, and high-temperature performance.

As of 2025, the application of LiBOB in the lithium battery industry is expanding, especially in high-performance EV batteries and some solid-state systems. The industry is transitioning from lab-scale research to commercial-scale adoption.

Growing Market Acceptance:

LiBOB is now commonly used as a standard additive by electrolyte producers to improve thermal stability and safety.

Enhanced Supply Capacity:

China dominates global LiBOB production, with major players like Tinci Materials, Capchem, SSES, and Guotai Huarong reaching production capacities in the tens of thousands of tons per year. Some foreign companies are also entering the space.

Falling Product Costs:

Due to localization and process optimization, LiBOB costs have steadily declined and are approaching commercial viability.

Diverse Technical Approaches:

Manufacturers are exploring multiple synthesis routes (e.g., oxalate-based, borate-based) to achieve cost-effectiveness and high purity.

Regulatory Compliance:

With global expansion, Chinese LiBOB suppliers are increasingly subject to international regulations like REACH and RoHS, driving higher quality and documentation standards.

Key Market Drivers:

Rising EV Demand: Electric vehicle batteries require improved safety and longevity, boosting LiBOB demand.

High-voltage, high-nickel batteries: LiBOB works well in high-voltage systems, such as those using NCM811 cathodes.

Solid-state battery development: Its chemical stability makes it suitable for some solid-state electrolyte systems.

LiPF? replacement: LiBOB is more stable under heat and humidity, avoiding HF formation and related corrosion.

Market Challenges:

Cost competitiveness: Higher raw material and synthesis costs compared to conventional salts.

Interface compatibility: Potential formation of thick SEI layers on anodes may reduce initial capacity.

Scale-up complexity: Industrial production still faces yield and consistency hurdles during scale-up.
