Lithium chip is widely used for Li-ion and Li metal rechargeable battery R&D, Please click link below to see a paper published in Nature Communication" which use MTI metal foil:
• Chip sealed in Al can which is vacuum-sealed in Al bag
Use
• Clean the surface of the lithium foil using a nylon brush/stainless steel scalpel until a shiny silvery surface appears (inside an argon glovebox).
Shipping Limitations
• Shipments of lithium foil are described as “UN 1415, Lithium, 4.3, PG I". • All shipments are Hazard Class 4.3 and require “Dangerous when wet” labels. • Sea Class 4.3 (IMDG) • Road, Rail Class 4.3 11a (RID/ADR)
Safety Data Sheet
Operation
• Package must be open inside a glove box with Argon Gas and moisture less than 2%RH.
Notes
• MTI only sells Li chip within the USA and does not accept international order due to restrictions on hazard material exportation!!!
• MTI reserves the right to charge an additional handling fee due to special shipping/handling requirements.
• Operation and Storage: Lithium is very active in the air, please carefully read the SDS carefully.
• Lithium chip may be oxidized during handling and storage. if you find any oxidation on the surface of Li-chip, please use sandpaper to remove it before using.
• The chip will have a passivation layer, from our customer experience, remove the passivation layer will increase your battery capacity
• The lithium chips were packed in the dry room with <2%RH. Therefore, a slight increase of O2 PPM level might be seen in the glove box when the can is opened. Please keep purging the glove box with ultra-high purity Ar until required O2 PPM level is reached.
