Product Description
Lithium Iodide
Lithium Iodide (CAS 10377-51-2) is a white crystal. Lithium iodide (Molecular Formula: LiI) is the compound of lithium and iodine. It can be used as an electrolyte in high-temperature batteries, long-life batteries which is required, e.g. by artificial pacemaker as well as in the electrolyte of dye-sensitized solar cells.
In organic synthesis, it can be used for C-O bonds cleavage such as converting methyl esters to carboxylic acids.
In addition, as the radio contrast agent for X-ray computed tomography imaging studies.
Physical properties：
Lithium Iodide is easy to deliquesce, and will turn yellow when exposed to light for a long time. The powder is soluble in water, alcohol, acetone, and ether. When melted, it is corrosive to glass and ceramics. Lithium iodide, a white crystalline solid, is deliquescent as are lithium chloride and lithium bromide. Lithium iodide is readily oxidized in air to yield iodine which discolors the crystals.
