lithium hydroxide

Main Applications: Energy (Batteries) – a key raw material for lithium-ion battery cathodes (e.g. in manufacturing lithium cobalt or nickel oxides for high-performance batteries), Lubricating Greases – reacts with fatty acids to produce lithium stearate soaps, which are used as thickening agents in high-temperature, water-resistant grease for automotive and industrial bearings, Air Purification – used in CO₂ scrubbers for submarines, spacecraft, and rebreathers to absorb carbon dioxide (keeping breathing atmospheres safe)
