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

Advanced Li-Sn alloy chip for stable, high-capacity Li-ion battery anode research

General Description

The Cell Lab Lithium-Tin (Li-Sn) Alloy Chip is a high-performance anode material tailored for lithium-ion battery research. Designed with ~3% Sn content, this alloy provides enhanced cycling performance, reduced electrode swelling, and improved safety compared to pure lithium chips.

Li-Sn alloy chips are widely used in electrochemistry labs, pilot battery studies, and advanced energy storage R&D. Their combination of high energy density and stability over multiple charge–discharge cycles makes them a preferred choice for researchers developing next-generation lithium batteries.

⚠️ Handling Note: Must be opened inside a glove box with Argon gas and relative humidity under 2% RH.

Key Features

1. High energy density — Extends Li-ion battery runtime compared to conventional electrodes.

2. Lower volume expansion — Reduces swelling and structural degradation during cycling.

3. Stable cycling performance — Retains high capacity over extended charge–discharge use.

4. Enhanced safety — Tin addition improves alloy stability, reducing short circuit risk.

5. Cost-efficient — Tin is abundant and affordable, lowering material R&D costs.

FAQ

Q1: Why choose Li-Sn over pure lithium?
Li-Sn exhibits lower volume expansion and better cycling stability, ensuring longer lifespan and safer operation.

Q2: How should Li-Sn chips be stored?
Always in an argon glove box (RH <2%) to prevent oxidation.

Q3: Are these chips hazmat?
Yes. They are classified as hazardous materials and require compliant packaging and shipping.

Q4: Can the Sn ratio be customised?
Yes. Custom alloy compositions can be produced upon request.

Q5: What about surface black spots?
Black spots are normal oxides. They can be removed with a nylon brush or scalpel before use.
