Lithium benzoate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White powder

Uses

In organic electroluminescent devices, the device with lithium benzoate gives the best performance of all the devices studied. Aromatic multilayers of lithium benzoate were covalently attached to the surface of natural graphite through diazonium chemistry, and the resulting graphite exhibited superior electrochemical performance as anode material of lithium ion batteries.

Uses

Lithium benzoate has been used as a lubricant for compressing tablets.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from EtOH (13mL/g) by partial evaporation. [Beilstein 9 I 107, 9 IV 279.]
