Lithium Hydride is an inorganic compound and is colorless solid. It is a diamagnetic and an ionic conductor with a conductivity gradually increasing. Lithium hydride is produced by reacting lithium metal with hydrogen gas at high temperature and pressure. It has a high melting point of 688°C and a boiling point of 925°C, making it a stable compound under normal conditions. Lithium hydride is insoluble in nonpolar solvents such as benzene and toluene but can dissolve in polar solvents such as liquid ammonia and methanol.

Wide applications of Lithium Hydride in reducing agent in organic chemistry, a hydrogen storage materials, a nuclear reactor moderator, pharmaceutical industry, chemical synthesis, pyrotechnics and metallurgy has become a key factor in target market growth. Rapid growth of Lithium Hydride has been driven by increasing demand for lithium ion batteries, which are widely used in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems that has further facilitated the demand for target market growth. The increasing focus on renewable energy and energy storage systems is expected to further drive the demand for lithium ion batteries and consequently the demand for lithium hydride. However, the high cost of production and transportation of lithium hydride may hinder its growth in some regions.
