General description
Lithium nitrate is produced by the acid-base reaction between nitric acid and lithium carbonate, which evolves carbon dioxide and water. The resulting material is dried, purified, and heated to form the anhydrous product.
Application
Because lithium nitrate is soluble in water, researchers also use lithium nitrate in the synthesis of lithium compounds using a host of solution-based chemistries. For example, microwave-induced combustion using solutions of lithium nitrate has yielded olivine-type lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), and lithium titanium oxides (ex. Li4Ti5O12 and Li2TiO3). Hydrothermal processing, sol-gel processing, spray pyrolysis, co-precipitation pre-processing, and Li emulsion-drying methods have all used lithium nitrate as a reactant to form lithium metal oxides. These techniques can yield controlled particle size, grain size, crystallinity, or facilitate the introduction of dopants for engineering the properties of the products, often explored for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.
Our battery grade lithium nitrate with ≥99.9% trace metals purity and low chloride and sulfate impurities, is designed as a precursor for cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
