Answers to common questions about Licube, our ultra-high-purity lithium hydroxide, and our lithium-6 (Li-6) isotope separation technology.
What does Licube produce?
Licube produces ultra-high-purity lithium hydroxide (4N+, at least 99.99% pure) and provides scalable lithium isotope separation, including lithium-6 (Li-6) and lithium-7 (Li-7) enrichment.
What technology does Licube use to purify and separate lithium?
Licube uses an advanced electrodialysis process built on LLTO (lithium lanthanum titanate) solid-state lithium-ion conductors. The LLTO membrane selectively transports lithium ions, enabling both ultra-high-purity refining and lithium isotope separation in a single platform.
How pure is Licube’s lithium hydroxide?
Licube’s lithium hydroxide reaches 4N+ purity (at least 99.99%), with sodium typically below 1 ppm, meeting the requirements of the most demanding battery, semiconductor, and aerospace applications.
What is Li-6 used for?
Lithium-6 (Li-6) is a strategic material for fusion energy, where it is used to breed tritium fuel inside fusion reactors. Licube’s electrodialysis-based enrichment provides a safer, scalable alternative to legacy mercury-based (COLEX) isotope separation.
Which industries does Licube serve?
Licube serves fusion energy developers, EV and grid-scale battery manufacturers, semiconductor producers, aerospace, and pharmaceutical industries that require high-purity lithium and lithium isotopes.
Is Licube’s Li-6 enrichment safe and environmentally friendly?
Yes. Licube’s electrodialysis-based isotope separation avoids the toxic mercury used in conventional COLEX enrichment, offering a cleaner, safer, and scalable approach to producing Li-6 and Li-7.
Where is Licube located?
Licube is headquartered in Houston, Texas, United States, with lithium technology development spanning the United States and Japan.
