Description

Lithium CAS NO 17341-24-1 is a highly reactive alkali metal, prized for its exceptional electrochemical properties and low density. It is a critical raw material for advanced energy storage technologies and serves as a powerful reducing agent in organic synthesis. This product is essential for manufacturers in the battery, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries seeking high-purity materials for demanding applications.

Application

• Lithium-ion Battery Manufacturing: As the primary anode material in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and grid storage systems.
• Organic Synthesis: As a versatile reducing agent and catalyst in the production of pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and polymers.
• Metallurgy: Used as an alloying agent to improve the strength and reduce the density of aluminum and magnesium alloys for aerospace and automotive applications.
• Nuclear Industry: Employed as a coolant and as a source of tritium in fusion reactor research and development.
• Grease Production: A key component in the manufacture of high-temperature, multi-purpose lithium-based lubricating greases.
• Air Purification & Drying: Utilized in chemical scrubbers and as a desiccant due to its strong affinity for gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor.

Quality Control

Our lithium is produced and handled under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer various grades, including industrial and high-purity battery-grade material, with specifications tailored to your application. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profiles, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly reactive nature, lithium must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or mineral oil) to prevent oxidation and reaction with moisture or air. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials such as water, acids, and halogens.
