Lithium Iodide (LiI) | Anhydrous & Trihydrate | CAS 10377-51-2
Overview
Lithium Iodide (LiI) is a high-value, highly reactive inorganic compound. It appears as a white crystalline powder but is extraordinarily hygroscopic and sensitive to light. Upon exposure to air or light, it can readily oxidize and turn yellowish due to the release of iodine. It is available in two primary forms: Anhydrous Lithium Iodide and Lithium Iodide Trihydrate.

Product Overview
Lithium Iodide (LiI) is a high-value, highly reactive inorganic compound. It appears as a white crystalline powder but is extraordinarily hygroscopic and sensitive to light. Upon exposure to air or light, it can readily oxidize and turn yellowish due to the release of iodine. It is available in two primary forms: Anhydrous Lithium Iodide and Lithium Iodide Trihydrate.
At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., established in 2016, we specialize in handling extreme-sensitivity chemicals. We supply ultra-high-purity Lithium Iodide tailored for advanced medical batteries, pharmaceutical synthesis, and scintillation applications. To ensure absolute product integrity, our LiI is strictly packaged under inert gas in light-proof, vacuum-sealed environments.
Technical Specifications (COA)
We maintain stringent controls over moisture and metallic impurities. Below are the typical specifications for our Anhydrous Grade (99.9%):
| Purity (LiI) | ≥ 99.9% |
|---|---|
| Moisture / Water | ≤ 0.5% (Strictly controlled) |
| Chloride (Cl) | ≤ 0.01% |
| Sulfate (SO4) | ≤ 0.01% |
| Heavy Metals (as Pb) | ≤ 10 ppm |
Key Applications
- High-Reliability Batteries: The anhydrous form is a critical solid-state electrolyte component in long-life, highly reliable batteries, most notably those used in artificial pacemakers and implantable medical devices.
- Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Acts as an excellent reagent for the cleavage of ethers and as a versatile catalyst in various complex organic synthesis processes.
- Radiation Detection: Used in the manufacturing of specialized phosphor crystals and scintillation detectors for neutron detection in nuclear physics.
🔬 Extreme Packaging & Handling Protocol
Because Lithium Iodide is extremely deliquescent and light-sensitive, standard packaging is insufficient. We guarantee product stability through:
- Inert Atmosphere: Purged and sealed under Argon or Nitrogen gas to displace oxygen and moisture.
- Light-Proof Vacuum: Sealed inside thick, light-proof aluminum foil bags.
- Usage Warning: Customers MUST handle this material in a dry-box or glove-box under an inert atmosphere. Exposure to ambient humidity will cause immediate degradation.

FAQ
Q1: What documents and certifications do you provide?
A Standard shipment includes COA (Certificate of Analysis) and MSDS (SDS). We also provide ISO 9001 certification and support third-party inspections like SGS or BV upon request.
Q2: Do you provide custom synthesis or formulation services?
A Yes. If you have specific purity requirements or a unique formulation, our R&D team can provide custom synthesis and adjust the stabilizers/inhibitors to meet your technical specifications.
Q3: What are your terms of payment?
A
For Orders ≤ $1,000: 100% in advance.
For Orders > $1,000: 30% T/T in advance, and the balance before shipment or against the copy of B/L. Irrevocable L/C at sight is also acceptable for bulk orders.
Q4: How long is your price valid?
A Chemical prices fluctuate due to the changes in raw material costs and exchange rates. Please contact our sales team for the latest real-time quotation.
Q5: What packaging and shipping ports are available?
A
We normally ship from Qingdao, Shanghai, or Ningbo.
Standard packaging includes 200kg Drums or 1000kg IBC Totes. We ensure strict safety compliance for both general and hazardous chemical cargoes.
Q6: It's my first time importing chemicals — can you help?
A Absolutely. Importing chemicals requires specific documentation. Our experienced logistics team will assist you with the entire process, including handling customs clearance documents and arranging the most suitable shipping method.
