Lithium molybdate (Li₂MoO₄) is a chemical compound, typically found as a white, crystalline powder or a colorless, transparent fluid. It is primarily used as a corrosion inhibitor in lithium bromide (LiBr) absorption chillers for industrial central air conditioning. It's also used in other applications like electrode materials, refrigerants, and in the nuclear industry.  

Industrial Uses

1. Energy

  • Lithium-ion Batteries: Lithium molybdate is used as an electrode material and additive in lithium-ion batteries. Its three-dimensional framework contributes to improved electrochemical performance by enhancing rate capability and cyclic stability. It also helps improve thermal stability and minimize decomposition risks within the battery. 

2. Metal Treatment

  • Corrosion Inhibition: Lithium molybdate is a known corrosion inhibitor, particularly in lithium bromide (LiBr) absorption chillers used in industrial air conditioning. It forms a protective layer on metal surfaces, preventing corrosion.

3. Water Treatment

  • Corrosion Inhibition: Lithium molybdate acts as a non-oxidizing anodic inhibitor, forming a protective layer on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion. 
  • LiBr Absorption Chillers: It's a key component in LiBr absorption chillers, which are widely used in industrial settings for cooling.

4. Performance Chemicals

  • Catalysis: Lithium molybdate act as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. It is used in the production of acrylonitrile, a precursor for acrylic fibers and plastics.
