Application

Lithium tert-butoxide solution is generally used as a strong base in organic synthesis.
It can be used:
  • For the synthesis of lithium modified silica nano-particles for conductive gel electrolytes.
  • As a catalyst for ring-opening polymerization of lactides.
  • As a lithium precursor for the synthesis of LiV3O8 nanoparticles by flame spray pyrolysis.
