General description

Triethanolamine borate (TEAB) is a water-soluble, eco-friendly boron-containing coordination compound synthesized from triethanolamine and boric acid, featuring a Lewis pair structure (boron as Lewis acid, amine as Lewis base). TEAB serves as a versatile additive and catalyst in polymer chemistry, lubrication, and energy storage, owing to its thermal stability, flame-retardant properties, and ability to enhance ionic conductivity. Its compatibility with organic matrices and non-toxic profile make it ideal for applications in flame-retardant materials, high-performance lubricants, solid-state electrolytes, and as a corrosion inhibitor. These attributes have led to its widespread use in catalysis, lithium-ion secondary batteries, and advanced polymer systems.

Application

Triethanolamine borate can be used:
  • As a surface stabilizing electrolyte additive for Ni-rich layered oxide cathode. TEAB inhibits Ni dissolution in the Ni-rich cathode and suppresses the electrolyte decomposition.
  • To prepare highly crystalline wide band gap perovskite solar cells with enhanced efficiency. TEBA helps to slow down the rapid crystallization and facilitates the formation of uniform perovskite films with reduced defects.
  • As a bifunctional catalyst for the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides.
  • As a precursor to synthesize boron-containing epoxy resin with flameretardant properties.

Features and Benefits

  • Water-Soluble and Eco-Friendly: Easily dissolves in water, is non-toxic, and environmentally benign, making it suitable for green chemistry applications
  • Thermal Stability and Flame Retardancy: Offers excellent chemical and thermal stability, and serves as a flame retardant in plastics and textiles
  • Easy Removal and Processing
