Description
General description
Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), a lithium salt, is a white monoclinic crystalline solid. Its industrial preparation has been described. In laboratory, it can be synthesized by reacting carbon dioxide gas with a lithium hydroxide solution.
Application
Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) may be used in the following studies:
- As a precursor in the preparation of LiFe1-yVyPO4 solid solutions.
- As a starting reagent for the synthesis of various lithium salts (lithium chloride and lithium bromide).
