| Application: | Lithium chloride can be used: • As a precursor to fabricate protective coating on Li metal electrodes. Coated metal can be used as an advanced anode for high-charge density Li-ion batteries. LiCl enhances Li diffusion suppressing the formation of Li dendrites resulting in improved cycle stability and rate capability. • As a starting material to prepare humidity-tolerant and inexpensive solid electrolyte Li2ZrCl6 for Li-ion batteries. • As an electrolyte additive to suppress the dendrite formation and stabilization of zinc anode-based batteries. LiCl ensures higher stability during the long cycling process. |
| Features and Benefits: | • Highly soluble in water • Exhibits good ionic conductivity • Low melting point • Compatible with other battery materials like lithium metal, graphite, and transition metal oxides |
