Hydrolysis in the system LiPF6—propylene carbonate—dimethyl carbonate—H2O

19F and 31P NMR spectroscopy were used to study the kinetics of the hydrolysis of LiPF6 in the homogenous solvent system propylene carbonate (PC)—dimethyl carbonate (DMC)—H2O. It was found that the main products of the hydrolysis are HF, LiPO2F2 and Li2PO3F. The content of POF3 and PF5 was negligibly low. We set up a hypothesis that the main factor determining the rate of the process is the so-called ‘secondary’ catalytic effect, caused by solvated H+ ions.
