Lithium Hydroxide FAQ Lithium Hydroxide FAQ

How many types of lithium hydroxide are there?

Lithium hydroxide is mainly divided into two types: anhydrous lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH·H₂O).

Why is lithium hydroxide monohydrate widely used in industry?

In industrial applications, lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH·H₂O), also known as monohydrate lithium hydroxide, is the most widely used form. This form is easier to crystallize, has good stability and reactivity, and is convenient for transportation and storage.

 

What are the industrial applications of lithium hydroxide monohydrate?

It is extensively used as a key lithium source in the synthesis of lithium battery cathode materials (such as NCM and NCA) and is widely applied in the following industries:

  • Manufacturing lithium-based greases (accounting for over 70% of global grease production).
  • Additive for alkaline battery electrolytes.
  • Ceramic glazes and specialty glass (e.g., aircraft windows).
  • Air purification and ion-exchange materials in nuclear reactors.

What are the main roles of lithium hydroxide monohydrate in battery cathode material synthesis?

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH•H₂O) is essential in making high-nickel cathode materials like NCM and NCA, offering:

  1. Lithium source: It improves material crystallinity, energy density, and cycle life by requiring lower temperatures and shorter sintering times.
  2. Enhanced performance: It boosts battery capacity by 12-15% and extends lifespan by 2-3 times.
  3. High-nickel process compatibility: It meets strict process conditions and ensures safety with low magnetic impurities.

How to choose which lithium-based raw material to use in lithium battery manufacturing?

In lithium battery manufacturing, high-nickel materials tend to use lithium hydroxide (with battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate being the mainstream), while medium- and low-nickel or lithium iron phosphate materials mostly use lithium carbonate. Although anhydrous lithium hydroxide has better performance, it is still mainly supplied in the monohydrate form due to the  high production difficulty and cost of anhydrous.
