Lithium nitrate anhydrous

nitric acid lithium salt; lithium nitrate anhydrous

CAS 7790-69-4

Chemical Formula LiNO3

Molecular Weight 68.95 g/mol

Lithium nitrate anhydrous (LiNO3) is a white, crystalline, inorganic salt. It's highly soluble in water and has strong oxidizing properties, making it useful as a heat exchange medium, an oxidizer in pyrotechnics, and a corrosion inhibitor in industrial applications. The anhydrous form is hygroscopic and decomposes at high temperatures. 

Industrial Uses

1. Energy

  • Electrolyte additive: Lithium nitrate anhydrous (LiNO3) is used primarily for its role in improving the performance and longevity of lithium-ion batteries. It acts as an electrolyte additive, enhancing energy density and stability, which is crucial for applications like electric vehicles and portable electronics. Additionally, it's used in thermal energy storage systems due to its ability to act as a heat exchange medium.
  • Heat Transfer and Storage: Lithium nitrate, when mixed with other nitrates like potassium and sodium nitrate, forms molten salt mixtures that can efficiently store thermal energy. These mixtures have a relatively low melting point, allowing them to be used in thermal energy storage systems that operate at lower temperatures compared to other molten salt options.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • High-Temperature Reactions: Lithium nitrate reacts with metal carbonates or oxides at high temperatures to form lithium metal oxides, which are important components in batteries and other materials.
  • Solution-Based Chemistry: It's used in various solution-based methods like microwave-induced combustion, hydrothermal processing, and co-precipitation to synthesize lithium compounds.
  • Oxidizing Agent: Lithium nitrate acts as an oxidizing agent, particularly in pyrotechnics (fireworks, flares) and high-temperature reactions.
