Lithium Carbonate (Battery Grade)
Lithium carbonate is a lithium salt with the chemical formula Li2CO3. Battery-grade lithium carbonate is primarily used to produce Li-ion battery cathode materials, such as lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium manganate oxide (LMO), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), NMC111, NMC442, NMC532, NMC622, as well as alkaline batteries. Battery-grade lithium carbonate is also a key material in LIB electrolytes.
Lithium carbonate is widely used in Li-ion batteries, pharmaceuticals, aluminum production, and the processing of metal oxides. In the glass industry, lithium carbonate is used to reduce the melting point of silica used in ovenware glass. In the ceramics industry, lithium carbonate is used to render color and shine.
Lithium carbonate can be produced from spodumene through different methods of extracting lithium hydroxide. Lithium carbonate is one of the first lithium compounds that is extracted from brines, and the first compound in the production chain. Lithium carbonate is a building block for other lithium derivatives.
Poworks provides different grades of lithium carbonate with varying purity levels according to the end use, including high-purity lithium carbonate, battery-grade lithium carbonate, and industrial-grade lithium carbonate. Our lithium carbonate is available in different particle sizes, including granule or fine powder.
