Lithium hydroxide (Li(OD)), specifically the deuterated form of lithium hydroxide, is a chemical compound that consists of lithium, oxygen, and deuterium. It is a white, hygroscopic solid that is highly soluble in water, forming a strongly alkaline solution. The compound is primarily used in various applications, including as a reagent in chemical synthesis, in the production of lithium-based batteries, and in the purification of carbon dioxide in breathing gas systems, particularly in submarines and spacecraft. Lithium hydroxide can also serve as a source of hydroxide ions in various chemical reactions. Its deuterated form, containing deuterium instead of the more common hydrogen, is utilized in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and other research applications where isotopic labeling is beneficial. Safety precautions are necessary when handling lithium hydroxide, as it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper storage in a cool, dry place is essential to prevent moisture absorption and degradation of the compound.
