General description

Lithium wire, with a diameter of 3.2 mm and stored in mineral oil, is highly valued for its use in the fabrication of lithium-ion batteries due to its excellent electrochemical properties. This form of lithium is also utilized in various applications, such as supercapacitors and specialized electrodes, where its high reactivity and conductivity are essential. Additionally, lithium wire′s stability in mineral oil helps prevent oxidation and degradation, ensuring long-term usability and performance.

Application

Lithium wire can be used in the production of lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries, where it serves as an anode material. Its high electrochemical potential contributes to increased energy density and improved battery performance. Additionally, it is also used as a key component for creating lithium metal anodes. This can enhance the safety and energy capacity of batteries compared to traditional liquid electrolyte systems.
