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.]
