Lithium benzoate（Cat No.:R071216）is a white to off-white crystalline powder formed from lithium and benzoic acid. It is primarily used as a corrosion inhibitor, polymer additive, and intermediate in organic synthesis. In energy research, it plays a role in specialty lithium-ion battery development and electrolyte formulation. Its thermal stability and solubility in organic solvents make it suitable for various industrial and laboratory applications. While less hazardous than many lithium salts, lithium benzoate should still be handled with care, using appropriate protective measures to avoid inhalation or skin contact during use and storage.
