High-conductivity LiTFSI electrolyte with nitrate additive for lithium–sulphur battery R&D
The Cell Lab 1 M LiTFSI in DME/DOL electrolyte is specially formulated for high-energy lithium–sulphur (Li–S) batteries. Containing 1 mol/L lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of dimethoxyethane (DME) and dioxolane (DOL), this ether-based electrolyte delivers superior compatibility with sulphur cathodes and lithium metal anodes. The inclusion of 2 wt% LiNO₃ additive enhances passivation, suppresses polysulphide shuttle effects, and ensures improved cycling efficiency, making it ideal for coin-cell and pouch-cell research.
Optimised for Li–S Battery Chemistry: Ether-based DME/DOL solvent system ensures stable operation with sulphur cathodes and lithium metal anodes.
2 wt% LiNO₃ Additive: Strengthens SEI formation and passivation layer on lithium surface, reducing polysulphide crossover.
High Ionic Conductivity & Purity: Conductivity ≈ 11 mS/cm; moisture ≤ 20 ppm; HF ≤ 30 ppm for stable long-term cycling.
Lab-Ready Packaging: Supplied in 500 g or 1 kg sealed bottles for glovebox use and academic or pilot-scale testing.
Customisable Formulations: Solvent ratio, lithium salt, and additive concentration can be tailored upon request.

Q1: What makes this electrolyte suitable for Li–S batteries?
Its DME/DOL solvent system ensures good sulphur solubility and compatibility with lithium metal, while LiNO₃ additive improves cycling stability.
Q2: Why is 2 wt% LiNO₃ important?
The nitrate additive promotes a stable SEI layer on the lithium anode, reducing parasitic reactions and extending cell life.
Q3: Is it compatible with other lithium-metal systems?
Yes. It can also be used for lithium-metal or lithium–selenium battery research requiring ether-based electrolytes.
Q4: Can I request customised electrolyte compositions?
Absolutely. Cell Lab provides custom solvent ratios, salt concentrations, and additive blends for specialised R&D.
Q5: How should this electrolyte be stored?
Store tightly sealed in a glovebox or desiccated container under inert gas at ≤ 30 °C.
