Lithium hydroxide monohydrate is a white, crystalline compound commonly used in the production of lithium-ion batteries, where it plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of cathodes. It is also used in the production of lithium grease, air purification systems, and in certain industrial applications for controlling moisture and acidity. Its ability to absorb carbon dioxide makes it useful in processes where CO2 needs to be removed, such as in breathing gas systems for submarines and spacecraft.

Industrial Uses

1. Lubricants & Automobiles

  • Thickener Components: It is used as a thickener in the formulation of lubricants and greases, particularly in high-temperature and high-performance applications. The compound enhances the stability and viscosity of greases, making them suitable for automotive and industrial machinery that operates under extreme conditions
  • Battery: Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate is used in the production of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Specifically, it is used to produce lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathodes. These batteries are commonly used in electric vehicles (EVs), consumer electronics, and energy storage systems due to their high energy density and long cycle life.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Active ingredient: Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate is used in the production of lithium-based medications, primarily for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Lithium salts are known for their mood-stabilizing effects, and lithium hydroxide is used in the synthesis of these compounds.
