General description

Lithium phosphate (Li₃PO₄) is a white-colored powder with stringent quality-checking parameters to support R&D activities. Its primary use lies in battery technology, especially in the production of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Beyond this, it is also employed in research activities in ceramics and glass manufacturing, catalysis, pharmaceuticals, optoelectronics, corrosion inhibition, laboratory reagents etc.

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more information.

Application

Lithium phosphate (Li₃PO₄) can be used as a precursor in the synthesis of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. It can be used as an electrolyte additive to enhance the performance and stability of lithium-ion batteries. Itcan be employed in the production of specialty glasses, where it improves the thermal and chemical properties of the glass.
