Description

Lithium Oxalate is a high-purity inorganic salt with the CAS registry number 30903-87-8, serving as a critical precursor in advanced material synthesis and energy storage technologies. Its primary value lies in its role as a source of both lithium ions and oxalate anions, enabling precise chemical formulations and controlled reactions. This compound is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the battery, ceramics, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for product development and process optimization.

Application

• Lithium-Ion Battery Research & Development: Used as a precursor or additive in the synthesis of cathode materials (e.g., lithium cobalt oxide) and solid electrolytes to enhance ionic conductivity and cycling stability.
• Ceramics & Glass Manufacturing: Acts as a fluxing agent and mineralizer in the production of specialty glasses and advanced ceramics, helping to lower melting points and control crystal growth.
• Chemical Synthesis & Catalysis: Serves as a key reagent in organic synthesis for decarboxylation reactions and as a ligand or co-catalyst in various homogeneous catalytic processes.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a standard or reagent in titrimetric analysis and for the calibration of instruments due to its well-defined stoichiometry.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the controlled synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where precise lithium incorporation is required.
• Surface Treatment & Coatings: Functions in conversion coatings and surface pretreatment formulations for metals to improve adhesion and corrosion resistance.
