APPLICATION AREAS
Lithium carbonate is a lithium salt with the chemical formula Li2CO3. Battery-grade lithium carbonate is primarily used to produce Li-ion battery cathode materials, such as lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium manganate oxide (LMO), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), NMC111, NMC442, NMC532, NMC622, as well as alkaline batteries. Battery-grade lithium carbonate is also a key material in LIB electrolytes.
Lithium carbonate is widely used in Li-ion batteries, pharmaceuticals, aluminum production, and the processing of metal oxides. In the glass industry, lithium carbonate is used to reduce the melting point of silica used in ovenware glass. In the ceramics industry, lithium carbonate is used to render color and shine.
