Description
Lithium Hydroxide Product Overview
Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is a white crystalline powder that comes as the anhydrous form (CAS 1310-65-2) and, more commonly, as the monohydrate (LiOH·H2O, CAS 1310-66-3) with about 56.5% LiOH. It is a strong base and absorbs carbon dioxide from the air.
Battery material producers use battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate to make high-nickel NCM and NCA cathodes, because it reacts at lower temperatures than Lithium carbonate. Similarly, lubricant producers use it to make lithium 12-hydroxystearate soaps, the basis of most multipurpose greases. Its ability to absorb CO2 also makes it the standard absorbent in spacecraft and submarines.
In addition, ceramic and glass producers use it as a lithium source. Other lithium compounds in our range also include Lithium chloride, Lithium nitrate and Lithium Borohydride.
Key Applications of Lithium Hydroxide
Typical uses include, for example:
🔋 Battery Cathodes
Lithium source for high-nickel NCM as well as NCA.
⚙️ Lithium Greases
Raw material for lithium soap greases.
🚀 CO2 Absorbents
Absorbent for spacecraft as well as submarines.
🏺 Ceramics and Glass
Lithium source for specialty formulations.

⚠️ Safety & Handling: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage and is toxic if inhaled as dust. Avoid dust formation and contact, and also wear chemical-resistant gloves, face protection and dust protection. Store in tightly closed containers, because it absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture from the air. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), because it contains the full classification and handling instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is lithium hydroxide preferred for high-nickel cathodes?
Because it reacts at lower temperatures than lithium carbonate, it suits the synthesis of nickel-rich NCM and NCA materials.
What is the difference between anhydrous and monohydrate?
The monohydrate contains water of crystallization and about 56.5% LiOH, whereas the anhydrous form is more concentrated.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
