Product Description

Tetra butyl ammonium tetra fluoroborate (TBATFB) is an organic salt with the chemical formula (C4H9)4NBF4. It is commonly used as a supporting electrolyte in electrochemical applications, particularly in the study of redox reactions and as an electrolyte in supercapacitors.

TBATFB is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in polar solvents such as water, methanol, and acetonitrile. It is a non-volatile compound with a melting point of around 100-110 Deg C.

TBATFB is a quaternary ammonium salt, which means it contains a nitrogen atom with four organic substituents attached to it. The tetrafluoroborate anion (BF4-) is a common counterion for many organic cations because of its stability and low nucleophilicity.

It is important to handle TBATFB with care as it can be toxic and irritating to the skin and eyes. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of heat and flames.
