Description

Lithium Peroxide is a powerful inorganic oxidizing agent with the chemical formula Li₂O₂. This compound is critical for applications requiring a controlled and potent source of oxygen, particularly in specialized industrial and research settings. It is primarily utilized in advanced battery technologies, air purification systems, and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Our high-purity Lithium Peroxide CAS NO 12031-80-0 is manufactured to meet the stringent demands of these innovative fields.

Application

• Advanced Battery Systems: A key component in lithium-air (Li-air) and other metal-air battery research and development, acting as an oxygen source in the cathode.
• Air Revitalization: Used in confined environments like submarines and spacecraft to absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) and generate breathable oxygen.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a selective oxidizing agent in the preparation of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
• Specialty Oxidizing Agent: Employed in pyrotechnic compositions and other industrial processes requiring a strong, solid oxidizer.
• Laboratory Research: Used as a benchmark material in studies of peroxide chemistry and for developing new catalytic systems.

Quality Control

Our Lithium Peroxide is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and safety data is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, organic solvents, and reducing agents. Due to its oxidizing nature and sensitivity to moisture and carbon dioxide, it is recommended to handle and store this material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term stability.
