Application


  • The critical role of lithium nitrate in the gas evolution of lithium–sulfur batteries: Lithium nitrate is used as a stabilizing additive in lithium-sulfur batteries, impacting gas evolution related to the lithium metal anode (A Jozwiuk et al., 2016).

  • Thermal characterisation of binary sodium/lithium nitrate salts for latent heat storage at medium temperatures: Investigates the thermal performance of binary sodium/lithium nitrate salts, crucial for latent heat storage applications (D Zhou, P Eames, 2016).

  • The synergetic effect of lithium polysulfide and lithium nitrate to prevent lithium dendrite growth: Discusses the combined use of lithium polysulfide and lithium nitrate as additives to mitigate lithium dendrite growth in batteries (W Li et al., 2015).

  • Nitrate additives for lithium batteries: Mechanisms, applications, and prospects: Reviews the use of nitrate additives like lithium nitrate in lithium batteries, focusing on mechanisms and performance (X Li et al., 2021).

  • Stable all-solid-state lithium metal batteries with Li3N-LiF-enriched interface induced by lithium nitrate addition: Studies the effect of lithium nitrate on enhancing the stability of lithium metal batteries through interface modifications (Z Zhang et al., 2021).
