Lithium chloride hydrate（Cat No.:I041491）is a compound consisting of lithium chloride (LiCl) and water molecules, typically in a stoichiometric ratio such as LiCl·xH₂O, where x represents the number of water molecules associated with each lithium chloride unit. It is commonly used in research and industrial applications, including in the production of lithium-based batteries, desiccants, and chemical synthesis. Lithium chloride hydrate can also serve as a source of lithium ions for various reactions, especially in organic chemistry. Its hygroscopic nature allows it to absorb moisture from the air, making it effective in moisture control applications.
