If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

General description
Application
- As a precursor to fabricate protective coating on Li metal electrodes. Coated metal can be used as an advanced anode for high-charge density Li-ion batteries. LiCl enhances Li diffusion suppressing the formation of Li dendrites resulting in improved cycle stability and rate capability.
- As a starting material to prepare humidity-tolerant and inexpensive solid electrolyte Li2ZrCl6 for Li-ion batteries.
- As an electrolyte additive to suppress the dendrite formation and stabilization of zinc anode-based batteries. LiCl ensures higher stability during the long cycling process.
Features and Benefits
- Highly soluble in water
- Exhibits good ionic conductivity
- Low melting point
- Compatible with other battery materials like lithium metal, graphite, and transition metal oxides

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
