Lithium chlorate is the inorganicchemical compound with the formula LiClO3.Like allchlorates, it is an oxidizer and may become unstable and possibly explosive if mixed with organic materials, reactive metal powders, or sulfur.
It can be manufactured by the reaction of hot, concentratedlithium hydroxide with chlorine:
Lithium chlorate has one of the highest solubilities in water for a chemical compound. It is also a six-electron oxidant. Its electrochemical reduction is facilitated by acid, electrocatalysts and redox mediators. These properties make lithium chlorate a useful oxidant for highenergy densityflow batteries.[5] Lithium chlorate has a very low melting point for an inorganic ionic salt.
