Lithium Peroxide (Li2O2) | Advanced Life Support & Battery Grade | CAS 12031-80-0
Overview
Lithium Peroxide (Li2O2) is a fine, white to slightly yellow inorganic powder known for its extraordinary oxidative and regenerative properties. Its most remarkable characteristic is its ability to simultaneously absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and release pure oxygen (O2). This dual-action capability makes it an irreplaceable chemical in advanced life support systems and a focal point in next-generation high-density energy storage research.

Lithium Peroxide (Li2O2) | Life Support & Battery Grade
Product Overview
Lithium Peroxide (Li2O2) is a fine, white to slightly yellow inorganic powder known for its extraordinary oxidative and regenerative properties. Its most remarkable characteristic is its ability to simultaneously absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and release pure oxygen (O2). This dual-action capability makes it an irreplaceable chemical in advanced life support systems and a focal point in next-generation Lithium-Air battery research.
At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., established in 2016, we supply High-Purity Lithium Peroxide (≥ 95.0%) engineered for critical aerospace, defense, and laboratory applications. With strict protocols for handling Class 5.1 oxidizing agents, we ensure our product is synthesized with maximum active oxygen content and meticulously packaged to guarantee absolute safety and performance.
Technical Specifications (COA)
For life support and advanced battery applications, active oxygen content and moisture control are critical. Typical specifications:
| Purity (Li2O2) | ≥ 95.0% |
|---|---|
| Active Oxygen Content | ≥ 33.0% |
| Lithium Oxide (Li2O) | ≤ 2.0% |
| Moisture / Water | ≤ 0.5% |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 20 ppm |
Key Applications
- Air Purification & Life Support: Li2O2 chemically scrubs CO2 from the air and releases oxygen. It is extensively used in the air revitalization systems of submarines, spacecraft, and breathing apparatuses (SCBA) for mining rescue.
- Lithium-Air Batteries: Acts as a primary discharge product and research material in the development of Li-O2 batteries, which theoretically offer ultra-high energy densities.
- Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a highly specialized oxidizing agent and curing catalyst for specialty synthetic polymers.
Strict DG Packaging Options
Due to its intense oxidizing nature and sensitivity to moisture and CO2, standard packaging is strictly prohibited:
- 25 KG UN-approved Steel Drums containing vacuum-sealed, light-proof aluminum foil bags.
- Custom small-volume packaging (1 KG / 5 KG sealed tins) available for aerospace and university laboratories.
⚠️ Safety & Transport Information (Class 5.1 DG)
- Transport Classification: Classified as Class 5.1 (Oxidizing Substance).
- UN Number: UN 1472 | Packing Group: II
- Handling Precautions: STRONG OXIDIZER. Danger of fire or explosion if mixed with combustible materials or organics. Reacts with water to release oxygen and heat. MUST be handled with extreme care using non-sparking tools. Store in a strictly dry, dedicated DG facility away from heat.

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.
