Lithium+Aluminate

Lithium aluminate also finds its use as an inert electrolyte support material in molten carbonate fuel cells, where the electrolyte may be a mixture of lithium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and sodium carbonate. The thermal and physical properties of lithium aluminate are from refs [1, 2]. Correlations of the thermal and structural properties as functions of temperature are as follows: (1)  (2)   (3)   (4)  with p the porosity and all temperatures in degrees K. These equations are valid in the temperature range of 300-1100 K. The coefficient b in Eq 2 is assumed to be the same as that for lithium oxide.
 * Lithium aluminate** (LiAlO2), also called **lithium aluminium oxide**, is an inorganic chemical compound, an aluminate of lithium. In microelectronics, lithium aluminate is considered as a lattice matching substrate for gallium nitride. In nuclear technology, lithium aluminate is of interest as a solid tritium breeder material, for preparing tritium fuel for nuclear fusion.
