1. What is lithium phosphate powder?
Lithium phosphate is an inorganic phosphate compound with the chemical formula Li₃PO₄. It is supplied as a white to off-white powder and is used as a lithium-containing precursor in ceramics, electrochemical research, glass, and specialty materials.
2. Is lithium phosphate the same as lithium iron phosphate?
No. Lithium phosphate (Li₃PO₄) and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) are different compounds. Lithium iron phosphate is commonly known as LFP and is widely used as a lithium-ion battery cathode material.
3. What is lithium phosphate powder used for?
Typical uses include advanced ceramics, glass and ceramic formulations, lithium battery research, solid-state electrolyte development, electrochemical materials, chemical synthesis, and specialty inorganic materials.
4. What purity of lithium phosphate is available?
Depending on the application, lithium phosphate may be supplied in 98%, 99%, 99.5%, 99.9% or higher-purity grades. Actual available purity should be confirmed against the required specification.
5. What particle sizes are available?
Lithium phosphate powder can be supplied in fine, micronized, submicron, and controlled-micron particle-size distributions. Custom PSD specifications may be available for research and industrial applications.
6. Does REG Metals provide documentation?
Yes. Certificates of Analysis (COA) and SDS documentation can be provided as applicable. Customers requiring specific impurity limits, particle-size distributions, moisture limits, or other technical requirements should specify them when requesting a quotation.
