Lithium Peroxide Powder Description:
Lithium peroxide (CAS: 12031-80-0) is an inorganic compound with the formula Li2O2. It is a white, non-hygroscopic solid. It has been used to remove CO2 from the atmosphere in spacecraft because of its high oxygen mass and oxygen volume ratios.
As a global supplier of high-grade lithium peroxide, Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) has more than 20 years of experience in the manufacture and sale of lithium peroxide products.

Lithium Peroxide Powder Applications:
Lithium peroxide (Li2O2) (CAS: 12031-80-0) is used in air purifiers where weight is a significant factor, for example in spacecraft. It absorbs more CO2 than lithium hydroxide of equivalent weight and it releases oxygen concurrently. It is not hygroscopic, unlike most other alkali metal peroxides. Lithium peroxide is used in the production of high-purity oxygen. It acts as a catalyst in the polymerisation of styrene to polystyrene. It may also be used as a curing agent for specific polymers and as an oxygen source in enclosed environments such as submarines and respiratory devices.
