Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Activation of carbonyl and other oxygen-containing compounds: Lithium perchlorate can activate carbonyl groups and other oxygen-containing compounds, facilitating various reactions. 
  • Ring opening of epoxides: It catalyzes the ring opening of epoxides with amines, leading to β-aminoalcohols. 
  • Acylation: It can catalyze the acylation of hindered alcohols and phenols under solvent-free conditions. 
  • Conjugate addition: It promotes the 1,4-conjugate addition of O-silylated ketene acetals to hindered α,β-unsaturated carbonyl systems. 
  • Baylis-Hillman reaction: It acts as a co-catalyst in the Baylis-Hillman reaction, which involves the coupling of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls with aldehydes. 
  • Cyanosilylation: Solid Lithium perchlorate acts as a mild Lewis acid for promoting cyanosilylation of carbonyl compounds under neutral conditions.
  • Synthesis of α-aminophosphonates: It facilitates the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates under solvent-free conditions.

2. Energy

  • Electrolyte: Lithium perchlorate is a common electrolyte salt in lithium-ion batteries, especially in the early stages of their development. 
  • Solid Electrolytes: It's also used as a component in solid polymer electrolytes, often combined with polyethylene oxide and ceramic nanoparticles.
