Cell Lab Lithium-Aluminium (Li-Al) Alloy Chip [Ø16 mm × 0.6 mm, 10 g/bottle]

High-performance Li-Al alloy chips for advanced Li-ion battery anode research

General Description

The Cell Lab Lithium-Aluminium (Li-Al) Alloy Chip is designed as a next-generation anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Offering high energy density, reduced volume expansion, and superior cycling stability, these alloy chips are widely used in battery R&D, energy storage research, and advanced electrochemistry laboratories.

Compared with pure lithium electrodes, Li-Al alloy electrodes provide improved safety, reduced swelling, and longer cycle life, making them an attractive option for rechargeable battery research and high-energy-density applications. Each chip is manufactured under strict dry-room conditions to minimise contamination and ensure consistent quality.

⚠️ Handling Note: These chips must be opened and processed inside a glove box under Argon atmosphere, with humidity maintained at <2% RH to ensure stability.

Key Features

1. High energy density — Enables longer-lasting battery performance compared to conventional lithium electrodes.

2. Reduced volume expansion — Minimises electrode swelling during charge/discharge cycles, improving structural stability.

3. Enhanced cycling performance — Maintains high capacity over multiple cycles for reliable long-term use.

4. Improved safety — Aluminium addition enhances chemical stability, reducing the risk of short circuits and thermal runaway.

5. Cost-effective and scalable — Aluminium is abundant and low-cost, making the alloy attractive for both R&D and pre-commercial use.

FAQ

Q1: Why choose Li-Al alloy over pure lithium?
Because it offers higher safety, lower expansion, and longer cycling stability, while still maintaining high energy density.

Q2: How should these chips be handled?
They must be opened and processed in a glove box under Argon with humidity <2% RH.

Q3: Are these chips hazardous to ship?
Yes. They are classified as hazardous materials (hazmat) and require specialised packaging and shipping compliance.

Q4: Can these chips be reused after exposure?
No. Once exposed to air or moisture, the chips may oxidise and degrade. Always handle under inert atmosphere.

Q5: Is it normal to see dark spots on the chips?
Yes. Black spots may occur due to residual oxygen. They can be cleaned using a nylon brush or stainless-steel scalpel.
