Applications

Precursor to LiPF6 for batteries.

In molten salts. Fluorine is produced by the electrolysis of molten potassium bifluoride.

Because of the large band gap for LiF, its crystals are transparent to short wavelength ultraviolet radiation, more so than any other material. LiF is therefore used in specialized UV optics.

Radiation detectors in thermoluminescent dosimeters.
