General description

Lithium methoxide is a white to off-white, hygroscopic solid highly soluble in polar solvents such as methanol and ethanol. Its high reactivity and ability to introduce lithium ions into precursor systems make it suitable for preparing lithium-based ceramics, thin films, and battery materials. Its compatibility with sol-gel and vapor deposition techniques makes it useful for producing advanced materials in energy storage, electronics, and catalysis.

Application

Lithium methoxide can be used:
  • As a precursor for synthesizing lithium aluminum oxide (LiAlO₂) coatings
  • As a precursor to prepare lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) cathodes for solid-state lithium metal batteries via sol-gel method.
  • Precursor for synthesizing LiTA anode material
