General description

Lithium aluminate (LiAlO₂) is a versatile inorganic compound with high thermal stability, low density, and excellent ion conductivity. It is suitable for a range of applications, such as radiation dosimetry, where it serves as an effective optically stimulated luminescence(OSL) dosimeter, and in nuclear technology as a tritium breeding material for fusion reactors. Additionally, it is widely used in development of solid polymer electrolytes for batteries, enhancing conductivity and performance in energy storage systems.

Application


  • Lithium‐Aluminate‐Catalyzed Hydrophosphination Applications: This study probes the catalytic potential of lithium aluminates in hydrophosphination reactions, specifically utilizing [iBu3AlHLi]2 (VA Pollard, A Young, R McLellan, 2019).

  • Tailoring Lithium Aluminate Phases Based on Thermodynamics for an Increased Recycling Efficiency of Li-Ion Batteries: This paper discusses the thermodynamic tailoring of lithium aluminate phases to enhance the recycling efficiency of lithium-ion batteries (H Li, H Qiu, T Schirmer, D Goldmann, 2022).

Lithium aluminates (LiAlO(2) and Li(5)AlO(4)) were synthesized, characterized, and tested as possible CO(2) captors. LiAlO(2) did not seem to have good qualities for the CO(2) absorption. On the contrary, Li(5)AlO(4) showed excellent behavior as a possible CO(2) captor. Li(5)AlO(4) was

In this paper, we reviewed the current development and patents for the application of high-brightness and high-efficiency white light-emitting diode (LED). The high-efficiency GaN nanostructures, such as disk, pyramid, and rod were grown on LiAlO(2) substrate by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy
