Applications of Lithium Compounds
| Jerry Huang
What are the applications of lithium compounds?
Based on end use, lithium compound applications are categorized as follows:
- Energy Storage and Li-ion Batteries Systems
- Glass and Ceramics
- Medical
- Lubricants
- Metallurgy
- Polymers
- Others (grid storage, cement and concrete, dyestuff, industrial bleaching, pool chemicals, and specialty inorganics)
Lithium compounds in polymer applications increase the fuel efficiency of cars through "green" tires and lighter interior materials, improve road quality and life, and even ensure better adhesive, sealing, and molding properties in wide ranging applications.
