Chemicals for the Battery & Energy Storage Industry
The rapid growth of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and grid storage, alongside continued demand for lead-acid and alkaline batteries, has created strong demand for battery-grade specialty chemicals. MITCHEM supplies high-purity lithium compounds (carbonate, hydroxide, chloride), sulphuric acid, barium sulphate, and zinc oxide — essential raw materials and additives across multiple battery chemistries from Li-ion cathode precursor manufacture to lead-acid plate formulation.

Lithium Carbonate
CAS: 554-13-2 | HS: 28369100
Li₂CO₃ | 73.89 g/mol
Primary precursor for lithium-ion battery cathode active materials (LFP, NMC, NCA) — battery-grade Li₂CO₃ (≥99.5% purity, low Na/K/Ca impurities) is the starting material for cathode synthesis in EV battery manufacturing.
Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate
CAS: 1310-65-2 | HS: 28252000
LiOH·H₂O | 41.96 g/mol
Preferred lithium source for high-nickel NMC (811, 911) and NCA cathode materials — enables the direct hydroxide route synthesis that preserves cathode morphology and delivers higher energy density in next-generation EV batteries.
Lithium Chloride
CAS: 7447-41-8 | HS: 28272000
LiCl | 42.39 g/mol
Lithium metal precursor via molten salt electrolysis and electrolyte additive in lithium-sulphur battery research. Also used as a hygroscopic desiccant and humidity control agent in battery cell manufacturing facilities.
Barium Sulphate
CAS: 7727-43-7 | HS: 28332700
BaSO₄ | 233.39 g/mol
Essential expander additive in lead-acid battery negative plate paste — inhibits lead sulphate crystal growth during cycling, preventing premature capacity loss and significantly extending battery cycle life.
Sulphuric Acid
CAS: 7664-93-9 | HS: 28070010
H₂SO₄ | 98.07 g/mol
Electrolyte for lead-acid batteries — supplied at 30–37% concentration, it serves as both electrolyte and active mass partner in the discharge/charge electrochemical reaction, determining battery capacity and performance.
Zinc Oxide
CAS: 1314-13-2 | HS: 28170010
ZnO | 81.39 g/mol
Active anode material in zinc-air and zinc-alkaline primary batteries. Also an additive in lead-acid battery positive plate paste to improve initial formation and reduce corrosion in maintenance-free designs.
Lead Oxide
CAS: 1317-36-8 | HS: 28241000
PbO / Pb₃O₄ / PbO + Pb (leady oxide) | 223.2 g/mol
Active material precursor for lead-acid battery plate paste — red lead (Pb₃O₄) for positive plate paste and litharge (PbO) for negative plate formation. Supplied to battery manufacturers for automotive SLI, stationary UPS, and industrial traction batteries.
Lithium Nitrate
CAS: 7790-69-4 | HS: 28342990
LiNO₃ | 68.95 g/mol
Molten salt component for concentrated solar power (CSP) thermal energy storage — blended with sodium nitrate as binary salt mixture for heat transfer and storage at 250–565°C. Enables dispatchable solar power generation without PV intermittency.
Lithium Sulphate Monohydrate
CAS: 10102-25-7 | HS: 28332990
Li₂SO₄·H₂O | 127.96 g/mol
Electrolyte additive in primary lithium batteries and research-grade lithium-ion systems — improves SEI layer stability and reduces capacity fade. Also used as a precursor in lithium sulphate-based solid electrolyte research.
