Lithium orthosilicate

Lithium silicate (ortho); Silicic acid (H₄SiO₄); tetralithium salt

CAS 13453-84-4

Chemical Formula Li₄SiO₄

Molecular Weight 119.91 g/mol

Lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) is a compound primarily used for high-temperature CO2 capture and as a solid electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries. It's known for its ability to react with CO2 at elevated temperatures, forming lithium carbonate and regenerating the original lithium orthosilicate when heated, allowing for reuse. Its stability at high temperatures and in harsh environments also makes it suitable for electronic components like capacitors and insulators.

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Tritium Breeding in Fusion Reactors: Li₄SiO₄ is a key candidate material for breeding tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, which is essential for fusion reactions. The neutrons produced in fusion reactions can be used to bombard Li₄SiO₄, producing tritium which can then be extracted and used as fuel for the reactor. It's considered promising due to its high lithium density, thermal conductivity, and efficient tritium release at relatively low temperatures.
