| Application: | Sodium biphenyl can be used as a reagent:• for the decomposition of perfluorinated surfactants into inorganic fluoride ions, which facilitates their detection via fluorimetric flow injection analysis. • as a sodiation reagent in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), in the chemical presodiation process for hard carbon (HC) anodes, enhancing their initial Coulombic efficiency. |
| General description: | Sodium biphenyl reagent is used to cleave the covalent fluorine bonds in organic compounds and biological samples. The liberated fluoride ions are determined spectrophotometrically or with the fluoride ion electrode. |
