Description
Lithium Zirconate Product Overview
Lithium zirconate (Li2ZrO3) is a white ceramic powder that is insoluble in water and stable at high temperatures. It reacts reversibly with carbon dioxide at about 450–700°C, forming lithium carbonate and zirconia, and releases the CO2 again at higher temperatures.
This property makes it one of the most studied high-temperature CO2 sorbents for carbon capture and sorption-enhanced hydrogen production. Battery material producers use thin lithium zirconate coatings on cathode particles to improve stability at high voltage. In fusion research, it is one of the candidate ceramics for breeding tritium.
Related lithium ceramics in our range include Lithium Titanate and Lithium niobate, and lithium sources such as Lithium carbonate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does lithium zirconate capture CO2?
At about 450–700°C it reacts with CO2 to form lithium carbonate and zirconia; heating further releases the CO2 and regenerates the sorbent.
