MSE PRO 100g Battery Grade Lithium Chips 12mm Diameter and 0.6mm Thick for Battery Research

Product Details:

100g battery grade lithium chips with 12mm Diameter and 0.6mm Thick for battery research. These lithium chips are widely used in Li ion and Li-Metal battery research.  Lithium is very reactive in air. Never open the can in air. Can with lithium chips must be opened inside a glove box with Argon Gas and moisture less than 2%RH.

Coin cell lithium chips dimension chosen guide:

The diameter and thickness of lithium chips can be customized upon request. The diameter can be customized 6~25 mm while thickness is 0.1~4 mm. 

Lithium chips with 12mm Diameter and 0.6mm are popular for split test cell and in-situ cell R&D. 

The diameter of lithium chip usually is larger than active electrode diameter and smaller than separator diameter. The thickness depends on the coin cell thickness and whether spacer and springs are used. The common size is listed below:

Shipping and handling: This material is classified as a hazmat and requires special packaging and shipping to comply with  regulatory requirements. Please contact us for specific details with shipping and handling.

Note:

Due to the nature of the material, please inspect the product upon arrival. MSE Supplies will be only responsible for the manufacturing defects only within 1 week  after delivery.. It is normal to see black spots on the chips. You can use a nylon brush/stainless steel scalpel to clean the surface. 

The product was manufactured in dry room. It may contain some residual oxygen which can cause the temporary oxygen level increase when opened in glove box.
