China is the dominant exporter of lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate, accounting for the majority of global shipments, while South Korea, Japan, and the United States are the leading importers—primarily driven by battery electrolyte manufacturing demand. Imports by South Korea and Japan have shown steady growth over the past two years, coinciding with upward pressure on lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate prices amid tightening supply chains and rising cathode material production.
Lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, typically odorless and non-volatile, with a melting point around 180–185 °C (decomposition may occur prior to boiling). It is classified as a lithium-based boron-containing organic salt and functions as a specialty electrolyte additive in electrochemical applications. Its primary industrial use is as a high-performance conductive salt and stabilizing additive in lithium-ion battery electrolytes—particularly for improving thermal stability, SEI formation, and cycling performance of cathodes such as NMC and LCO. It is employed in advanced energy storage systems for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and grid-scale batteries.
