Lithium nitrate is an inorganic salt composed of lithium, nitrogen, and oxygen, primarily used in pyrotechnics, ceramics glazes, and lithium-ion battery production due to its high lithium content and thermal stability. It appears as a white, hygroscopic crystalline solid with a high melting point, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. Lithium nitrate has a CAS number of 7790-69-4, with the molecular formula LiNO₃ and a molecular weight of 68.95 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions and carries a signal word of "Warning" for safety classification. Molekula supplies lithium nitrate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
