Lithium Sulphate Monohydrate
Li₂SO₄·H₂O | CAS: 10102-25-7 | HS: 28332990
Product Description
Lithium Sulphate Monohydrate is a technically important lithium salt with specific applications in piezoelectric crystal growth, specialty glass manufacturing, and lithium chemical synthesis. Its anomalous thermal expansion behaviour makes lithium sulphate crystals unique among piezoelectric materials. In glass technology, it serves as a flux that lowers melting temperature while introducing lithium oxide into the glass network. MITCHEM supplies technical and high-purity grades with full CoA for research institutions, glass manufacturers, and specialty chemical producers.
Applications by Industry
Lithium sulphate monohydrate crystals exhibit strong piezoelectric properties and anomalous negative thermal expansion; used in hydrophones, ultrasonic transducers, and acousto-optic devices.
Flux and lithia source in specialty glass and glass-ceramic formulations, improving melt viscosity and contributing lithium oxide to improve thermal expansion properties.
Used as a lithium source for precipitating other lithium salts via double decomposition reactions in controlled synthetic conditions.
Used in certain specialty electrochemical and battery research applications as a lithium sulphate electrolyte additive and in sulphate-based electrolyte systems.
