Description

Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate CAS NO 1310-66-3 is a high-purity inorganic compound essential for advanced manufacturing and energy storage technologies. Its strong alkaline nature and unique lithium-ion source make it a critical precursor in the production of lithium-ion battery cathodes and specialty greases. This material is vital for manufacturers in the battery, ceramics, and chemical synthesis industries seeking reliable, high-quality lithium sources for performance-critical applications.

Application

• Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacturing: A key precursor for synthesizing cathode active materials like Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO), Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC), and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP).
• Grease Production: Used to manufacture high-performance multi-purpose lithium-based greases, which offer excellent water resistance and thermal stability for automotive and industrial applications.
• Ceramics & Glass Industry: Acts as a fluxing agent to lower melting temperatures and improve the physical properties of specialty glasses and ceramic glazes.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a strong base and lithium source in organic synthesis and the production of other lithium salts, such as lithium carbonate.
• Air Purification Systems: Utilized in confined environments, such as spacecraft and submarines, to scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical compounds where lithium incorporation is required.

Quality Control

Our Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Production adheres to relevant industry standards, and each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profiles, and physical specifications. We support our partners in meeting their specific regulatory and quality requirements for applications ranging from battery-grade materials to industrial synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a sealed, moisture-proof container to prevent absorption of atmospheric water and carbon dioxide, which can lead to caking and reduced reactivity. Store away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
