The invention relates to a novel method for preparation and purifying an
electrolyte lithium salt LiDFOB for a
lithium ion battery, which belongs to the technical fields of novel
energy materials and preparation. The method comprises the following specific steps of: (1) dissolving
anhydrous dry NaBF4 and LiCl into an
organic solvent; (2) adding a catalyst, heating, stirring and reflowing at the temperature of 30-80 DEG C, and fully reacting for 4-12 hours; (3) filtering, separating a
solid from a liquid to obtain an organic solution of LiBF4, adding H2C2O4 and a catalyst in an inertial
atmosphere, performing a magnetic stirring reaction at the temperature of 30-120 DEG C for 4-12 hours till no gas is generated, and ending reaction; and (4), filtering, evaporating a filtrate with a rotary evaporimeter till white
solid particles are just formed, adding a non-polar
solvent into the white
solid particles, recrystallizing at a low temperature, filtering, and
drying in vacuum at the temperature of 60 DEG C to obtain a high-purity LiDFOB product. The LiDFOB synthesizing method is simple, used raw materials are safe and nontoxic, an intermediate, i.e., LiBF4 is not required to be separated from a
solvent, and the process flow is simplified. The LiDFOB prepared by using the process has superior performance, has a good application prospect in the field of power batteries, and is convenient to industrialize.
