General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more information.

Application

Lithium chloride is used in conjunction with N, N dimethylacetamide (DMA) for synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a raw material for renewable energy and chemical production, from lignocellulosic biomass. Lithium chloride is also used as a source for synthesis lithium-ion battery materials (e.g. LiFePO4) and to control growth of polyectrolyte multilayers.
