Description

Lithium-6 Hydroxide Hydrate 95 Atom % is an isotopically enriched inorganic compound, distinguished by its high content of the Lithium-6 isotope. This material is critical for applications requiring precise neutron moderation or absorption due to the unique nuclear properties of 6Li. It is primarily utilized in specialized nuclear research, advanced energy systems, and the production of high-value radiopharmaceuticals where isotopic purity is paramount.

Application

• Neutron Shielding and Moderator Materials: Key component in advanced nuclear reactor designs and radiation shielding applications due to the high neutron capture cross-section of 6Li.
• Tritium Production: Serves as a target material in nuclear reactors and accelerators for the generation of tritium (3H), a vital fuel for fusion research and defense programs.
• Nuclear Physics Research: Essential for calibration sources, detector components, and experimental setups in fundamental neutron science and particle detection.
• Specialty Glass and Ceramics: Used in the development of radiation-resistant optical materials and ceramics with specific thermal and structural properties.
• Isotope-Labeled Precursors: Acts as a starting material for synthesizing 6Li-labeled compounds for use in metabolic tracing, pharmacokinetic studies, and advanced analytical chemistry (e.g., NMR, MS).
• Lithium Ion Battery Research: Employed in fundamental research to study lithium-ion transport mechanisms and develop next-generation solid-state electrolytes.

Quality Control

Our Lithium-6 Hydroxide Hydrate is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized to confirm isotopic enrichment (95 Atom % 6Li minimum) and chemical purity using advanced analytical techniques including Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic composition, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and a strong base. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Use appropriate secondary containment to prevent contact with moisture, acids, and incompatible materials.
