Description

• General description: Lithium hydroxide monohydrate is a strongly alkaline crystalline solid soluble in water. It is prepared industrially by recovering it from spodumene or by evaporating a solution prepared by reacting calcium hydroxide and lithium carbonate. It is mainly used in the synthesis of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, such as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) and lithium iron phosphate. It is also preferred over lithium carbonate for producing lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides.
• Application: Lithium hydroxide monohydrate can be used mainly for the synthesis of cathode materials for Lithium-ion batteries:To synthesize Olivine LiFePO4 nanoplates with different crystal orientations by glycol-based solvothermal process. It demonstrated that the crystal orientation of cathode nanoplates plays an important role in the performance.[1]As a precursor for the synthesis of LiFePO4 platelets under hydrothermal synthesis conditions. It exhibited homogeneous particle size distribution, greater electrochemical performances and cycle life, and morphology control.[2]To synthesize Ni-rich Li[NixCoyMn1–x–y]O2 gradient cathodes (NCM). These cathodes exhibited enhanced cycling and chemical stability due to their strong crystallographic texture, unique particle morphology, and highly correlated particle orientation.[3]As a precursor to prepare porous salt hydrate-based composites for low-temperature thermochemical heat storage.[4]As an electrolyte additive in lithium-ion batteries.[5] Our Lithium hydroxide monohydrate which is water soluble, with a purity of 99.95%, is an excellent choice as a source for Lithium to synthesize the cathode materials for Lithium-ion batteries. The high purity on trace metals basis makes it highly suitable for cathode formation, ensuring optimal electrochemical performance.
