Lithium granules are pure metallic lithium in granular form, primarily used in high-energy battery applications, heat transfer fluids, and as a reducing agent in chemical synthesis. This reactive alkali metal is stored under inert conditions to prevent oxidation. Key specifications include a CAS number of 7439-93-2, molecular formula Li, and a molecular weight of 6.94 g/mol. Handling requires strict safety measures due to its high reactivity, with a signal word of "Danger." Molekula supplies Lithium Granules from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
