General description

Lithium amide (LiNH2) is an amide of an alkali metal with lithium atoms having larger positive charges than hydrogen atoms. It is a moisture-sensitive molecule that converts to LiOH and NH3 on reaction with H2O. It is majorly used in hydrogen storage applications.
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. Find details here.
