Description
Lithium Nitrate Product Overview
Lithium nitrate (LiNO3) is a white, hygroscopic crystalline powder that dissolves very easily in water and melts at about 255°C. It is an oxidizer.
Solar thermal and heat storage researchers add it to nitrate salt mixtures with Potassium Nitrate and sodium nitrate, because it lowers the melting point and widens the working range. Similarly, pyrotechnics producers use it for red flame colors, and battery researchers use it as an electrolyte additive in lithium–sulfur cells, where it protects the lithium anode. Ceramic producers also use it as a lithium source.
Furthermore, other lithium compounds in our range include Lithium hydroxide, Lithium chloride and Lithium carbonate.
Key Applications of Lithium Nitrate
Typical uses include, for example:
☀️ Heat Storage
Component of molten nitrate salt mixtures.
🎆 Pyrotechnics
Red flame colorant.
🔋 Battery Research
Electrolyte additive in lithium–sulfur cells.
🏺 Ceramics
Lithium source for glazes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is lithium nitrate added to molten salt mixtures?
Because it lowers the melting point of nitrate salt mixtures, the heat storage system can operate over a wider temperature range.
Why is lithium nitrate used in lithium–sulfur batteries?
It forms a protective layer on the lithium anode, which reduces side reactions with dissolved sulfur species.
