Lithium Sputtering Target is a high-purity lithium form designed for use in physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes, such as sputtering. These targets are commonly used to deposit thin lithium films onto substrates for applications in electronics, energy storage, and research. Lithium’s high reactivity and low atomic mass make it useful for specialized coatings, including thin films in lithium-ion battery technology, as well as other areas of materials science.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Appearance: silvery-white<\/p>\n
Melting Point: Relatively low, at around 180.5\u00b0C (356.9\u00b0F), which can influence sputtering process parameters.<\/p>\n
Softness: Lithium is a very soft metal, which requires careful handling and mounting in sputtering equipment.<\/p>\n
Density: Approximately 0.534 g\/cm\u00b3, one of the lowest densities among metals, making lithium unique in sputtering applications.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Battery Manufacturing: Lithium sputtering targets are used to deposit lithium layers in the production of advanced lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries, particularly for research into solid-state batteries that require thin lithium layers as anode materials.<\/p>\n
Thin-Film Coatings: Lithium films are sometimes used in thin-film optics, semiconductor devices, and sensors, where they offer unique electronic and ionic properties.<\/p>\n
Materials Research: Lithium sputtering targets are utilized in R&D for novel lithium-based materials, such as lithium alloys or lithium-doped films, which are studied for applications ranging from energy storage to electronic components.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inert Atmosphere: Lithium targets should be stored and handled under argon or nitrogen to prevent oxidation.<\/p>\n
Careful Handling: As a soft, reactive metal, lithium requires careful handling to avoid contamination, damage, or degradation before use.<\/p>\n
Protective Equipment: Operators should use gloves and eye protection, as lithium can react exothermically with moisture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
