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

High-performance Li-Zn alloy chip for advanced Li-ion battery anode research

General Description

The Cell Lab Lithium-Zinc (Li-Zn) Alloy Chip is designed as a next-generation anode material for lithium-ion batteries. With its high energy density, reduced swelling, and reliable cycling stability, Li-Zn alloy is widely used in battery R&D, electrochemistry laboratories, and advanced energy storage research.

Compared to pure lithium electrodes, Li-Zn alloy electrodes demonstrate improved structural integrity, enhanced safety, and lower risk of thermal runaway, making them ideal for laboratory studies and prototype battery applications.

⚠️ Handling Note: Must be opened inside a glove box with Argon atmosphere and relative humidity below 2% RH to avoid reaction with air and moisture.

FAQ

Q1: Why use Li-Zn alloy instead of pure lithium?
Li-Zn alloy offers lower swelling, higher stability, and safer operation during charge–discharge cycles.

Q2: How should Li-Zn alloy chips be stored and handled?
Store in a dry Argon glove box, humidity <2% RH, and handle with care to prevent oxidation.

Q3: Are these chips hazardous for shipping?
Yes, they are hazardous materials (hazmat) and require special packaging and compliant shipping.

Q4: Can the Zn ratio be customised?
Yes, custom Li-Zn alloy compositions can be provided upon request.

Q5: Why do the chips have black spots?
These are surface oxides caused by residual oxygen. They can be cleaned using a nylon brush or stainless-steel scalpel.
