General description
Lithium ethoxide solution (LiOEt) is a reactive organolithium compound supplied in a solvent medium, often ethanol or hydrocarbon-based, for enhanced handling and stability. It serves as a versatile precursor in solution and vapor deposition techniques. Its strong alkaline nature and thermal decomposition properties make it valuable for fabricating lithium-containing thin films and coatings in energy storage and optoelectronic applications.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belongs to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. This enabling product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more information.
Application
Lithium ethoxide solution can be used as:
- A precursor in the preparation of LiNbO₃-based surface coatings on cathodes via sol-gel method to improve performance and durability in solid-state batteries.
- A lithium precursor in the solution-based synthesis of lithium sulfide (Li₂S) nanocrystals for fabricating cathode materials optimized for lithium-sulfur batteries.
- A precursor in the sol-gel method to synthesize lithium silicate ceramics for dental applications.
- A precursor in the metathesis synthesis of lithium sulfide (Li₂S) nanocrystals for advanced solid-state electrolytes and battery technologies.
