Applications
Lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide is used in the preparation of chiral imidazolium salt through an anion metathesis of the corresponding triflate organic electrolyte-based lithium batteries. It finds application in the preparation of rare-earth Lewis acid catalysts. It is also useful in primary and secondary lithium cells using organic liquid electrolytes and polymer batteries.

Solubility
Soluble in water.

Notes
Moisture sensitive. Keep the container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
