General description

Lithium aluminate (LiAlO₂) is a versatile inorganic compound with high thermal stability, low density, and excellent ion conductivity. It is suitable for a range of applications, such as radiation dosimetry, where it serves as an effective optically stimulated luminescence(OSL) dosimeter, and in nuclear technology as a tritium breeding material for fusion reactors. Additionally, it is widely used in development of solid polymer electrolytes for batteries, enhancing conductivity and performance in energy storage systems.

Application


  • Lithium‐Aluminate‐Catalyzed Hydrophosphination Applications: This study probes the catalytic potential of lithium aluminates in hydrophosphination reactions, specifically utilizing [iBu3AlHLi]2 (VA Pollard, A Young, R McLellan, 2019).

  • Tailoring Lithium Aluminate Phases Based on Thermodynamics for an Increased Recycling Efficiency of Li-Ion Batteries: This paper discusses the thermodynamic tailoring of lithium aluminate phases to enhance the recycling efficiency of lithium-ion batteries (H Li, H Qiu, T Schirmer, D Goldmann, 2022).
