In a rapidly evolving world with diverse requirements, Titan Lithium has built a dual-production plant where we offer both Battery Grade Lithium Carbonate & Lithium Hydroxide. They are made as per the specifications of the highest industry standard – the Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX)
Battery-grade lithium carbonate is a highly purified form of Li₂CO₃ used in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries, particularly in the production of cathode materials like lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP). The purification process reduces impurities such as sodium, calcium, and iron to below critical levels (often less than 15 ppm), ensuring that the material meets stringent quality standards required for battery performance. High purity is essential to prevent degradation of the cathode, which could lead to diminished battery capacity, reduced cycle life, and safety risks. The increasing global demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems has significantly amplified the need for battery-grade lithium carbonate, driving advancements in refining technologies to meet the growing industry requirements.
Battery-grade lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is a critical material used in the production of high-performance lithium-ion batteries, especially those employing nickel-rich cathode materials such as NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) and NCA (nickel-cobalt-aluminum). It is favored in these applications due to its ability to enhance battery energy density, thermal stability, and overall longevity. The production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide involves advanced refining processes to achieve ultra-low levels of impurities, typically targeting concentrations below 10 ppm for metals like iron, nickel, and copper. The high purity is crucial for preventing the formation of defects in the cathode structure, which can lead to capacity fading and safety hazards. As the demand for electric vehicles and grid storage systems continues to grow, battery-grade lithium hydroxide plays a pivotal role in enabling the development of longer-lasting and more efficient batteries, aligning with the global transition towards cleaner energy.
