Tetra-n-butylammonium hexafluorophosphate is used as a supporting electrolyte in nonaqueous electrochemistry. It is chemically inert, thereby allowing the usage as an inert electrolyte with potential range. It enhances the performance of single-layer organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
