General description

Lithium chloride is a white crystalline highlywater-soluble compound with good ionic conductivity. It has a relatively lowmelting point, which helps in the fabrication of battery components and solid-stateelectrolytes or the use of molten lithium chloride as an electrolyte. We packaged Lithium chloride in our innovative Redi Dri packaging, which easily can prevent the absorption of moisture. The packaging has distinct features and advantages along with product value propositions.

Application

Lithium chloride can be used:
- Our high-purity lithium chloride (LiCl) serves as an ideal precursor for uniform protective coatings on lithium metal electrodes, enabling advanced anodes in high-charge density lithium-ion batteries due to its minimal trace metal content.
- Our >99.98% lithium chloride enhances lithium diffusion and suppresses the formation of lithium dendrites, resulting in improved cycle stability and enhanced rate capability. With minimal metal impurities, our product ensures consistent battery performance, free from the detrimental effects of contaminants.
- Acts as a starting material for the preparation of humidity-tolerant and cost-effective solid electrolyte Li2ZrCl6 for lithium-ion batteries.
- Functions as an electrolyte additive that suppresses dendrite formation and stabilizes zinc anode-based batteries, ensuring greater stability throughout prolonged cycling processes. Impurities in the electrolyte can adversely affect zinc anode-based batteries by promoting dendrite formation, which leads to short circuits and failures. They can also disrupt electrochemical stability, alter ionic conductivity, and reduce cycle life due to unwanted side reactions. Using our high-purity lithium chloride minimizes these issues, ensuring greater stability and efficiency in battery performance.

Features and Benefits

- ≥ 99.95% purity with <200ppm minimizes contamination from heavy trace metals, ensuring suitability for applications sensitive to even minute impurities.
- Prevents absorption of moisture during transport and storage, ensuring compound integrity.
- Maintains a free-flowing powder form for longer usability.
- Slower moisture uptake enhances stability and effectiveness.

Packaging

250g in poly bottle
Redi Dri is an innovative packaging system that prevents absorption of environmental moisture by anhydrous & hydroscopic salts during transport and chemical storage without addition of anti-caking agents, preserving the compounds′ quality assured, free-flowing nature. Redi-Dri also provides a conveniently resealable storage container as a simpler and safer-to-use alternative to one-time-use packaging such as ampules.
