Heat Transfer Salt: Lithium nitrate is used in molten salt mixtures, especially in solar thermal energy storage systems, due to its high thermal stability and heat transfer efficiency.
Metallurgy: Applied in heat treatment processes to temper steel and other metals by enhancing oxidization.
Energy Storage: Used in electrolyte formulations in lithium-ion batteries and other electrochemical devices.
Fireworks and Pyrotechnics: Due to its oxidizing properties, lithium nitrate is sometimes used in pyrotechnics to produce a red flame.
Dehumidification: Due to its hygroscopic nature, it can be used as a drying agent in air conditioning and dehumidifying applications.
