Battery grade anhydrous lithium chloride

How is industrial grade lithium chloride treated?

In the current work, industrial grade lithium chloride has been successfully treated with four simple precipitation steps to obtain a high purity battery grade lithium carbonate of >99.95%. The LiCl starting solutions contained K, Na, Mg, Ca, Cu, Ni, and Fe chloride contaminants and solutions of 2.5 to 10 M were simulated.

What is lithium chloride used for?

Lithium chloride is also used as a source for synthesis lithium-ion battery materials (e.g. LiFePO 4) and to control growth of polyectrolyte multilayers. Search for Certificates of Analysis (COA) by entering the products Lot/Batch Number. Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product’s label following the words ‘Lot’ or ‘Batch’.

What are the different types of lithium ion batteries?

Of these methods the product is typically lithium hydroxide, lithium chloride, lithium bromide, butyl lithium, and lithium carbonate which is the primary precursor for Li-ion batteries .

Are lithium-ion batteries sustainable?

The use of lithium in manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles, along with stringent environmental regulations, have strongly increased the need for its sustainable production and recycling. The required purity of lithium compounds used for the production of battery components is very high (> 99.5%).

Where can I find anhydrous calcium chloride & magnesium chloride?

Anhydrous calcium chloride (96%) was purchased from Acros Organics (Geel, Belgium). Lithium chloride (≥ 99.5%) was obtained from Carl ROTH (Karlsruhe,Germany). Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (≥ 98%) and anhydrous magnesium chloride (99%) were purchased from Alfa Aesar (Steinheim and Kandel, Germany).

Why is lithium hydroxide important?

However, the importance of lithium hydroxide, in the form of its monohydrate LiOH·H 2 O, is increasing sharply, mainly because it can be used as a starting compound for nickel-rich NMC cathode materials, which are desirable for their high reversible capacity, high energy density, good rate capability, and relatively low cost [11, 12, 13].
