Lithium Carbonate

Molecular formula: Li₂CO₃

Lithium carbonate is an inorganic compound which is a colorless monoclinic crystal or a white powder.

Soluble in dilute acid, slightly soluble in water. The solubility in cold water is greater than its in warm water.

Insoluble in alcohol and acetone. Density 2.11g/cm3, and melting point 723°C (1.013×105 Pa).

Lithium Carbonate can be used to ceramics, drugs, catalysts, etc. However, it is commonly used as lithium ion battery materials.
