Industrial Uses

1. Energy

  • Protective coating in solid state batteries: Lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) is used in solid-state batteries as a protective coating to enhance stability and performance, particularly at the anode. It acts as a barrier to prevent unwanted side reactions between the lithium metal anode and the electrolyte, while also promoting uniform lithium deposition and suppressing the formation of harmful lithium dendrites.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Precursor: Lithium phosphate (Li₃PO₄) is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) for lithium-ion battery cathodes. It's also used as an electrolyte additive to enhance battery performance and in the production of specialty glasses.
  • Specialty Glasses: Li₃PO₄ is used in the production of specialty glasses, where it acts as a flux and helps to improve the thermal and chemical resistance of the glass.
