Description

Lithiumnitrate CAS NO 13453-76-4 is an inorganic salt of lithium and nitric acid, valued for its unique combination of lithium's reactivity and the oxidizing properties of the nitrate anion. This compound is critical in applications requiring a stable, soluble source of lithium ions or a specialized oxidizing agent. It serves as a key material for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of specialty glass and ceramics, thermal energy storage, and pyrotechnics.

Application

• Specialty Glass and Ceramics: Used as a fluxing agent to lower melting temperatures and modify the thermal expansion properties of glass and ceramic formulations.
• Thermal Energy Storage (TES): Acts as a component in phase change materials (PCMs) or molten salt mixtures for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants due to its favorable thermal properties.
• Pyrotechnics and Explosives: Serves as an oxidizing agent in red-colored fireworks and certain propellant compositions.
• Laboratory Reagent: Employed in chemical synthesis and analytical chemistry as a source of nitrate ions or for specific lithium-based reactions.
• Electrolyte Additive: Investigated for use in lithium-ion batteries to improve electrolyte stability and electrode performance.
• Heat Transfer Fluids: A potential additive in high-temperature heat transfer fluids for industrial processes.

Quality Control

Our Lithium Nitrate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Store away from combustible materials and strong reducing agents.
