China and South Korea are the leading exporters of Lithium bis(oxalato)borate (CAS 244761-29-3), accounting for the majority of global shipments, while the United States, Germany, and Japan represent the largest importers. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth in imports by European battery material processors amid tightening supply chain scrutiny and fluctuating Lithium bis(oxalato)borate prices.
Lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB) is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, odorless and non-volatile, with a melting point typically reported around 290–300 °C (with decomposition). It is classified as an organoborane salt and a lithium-based electrolyte additive. Primarily used in lithium-ion battery electrolytes, LiBOB functions as a functional additive to enhance SEI layer formation on graphite anodes, improve thermal stability, and suppress aluminum current collector corrosion. Its main commercial application is in high-performance and specialty lithium-ion batteries for consumer electronics, power tools, and electric vehicles. It serves as a key component—not an intermediate—in formulated electrolyte systems rather than as a synthetic precursor in other chemical manufacturing sectors.
