Racing-grade (Formula 1 / Formula E) lithium hydroxide enables maximum power density and thermal stability — giving Formula-class cars the speed edge in extreme conditions.

Motorsport pushes energy storage to the absolute limit. In Formula 1, Formula E, and endurance racing, batteries must deliver maximum power density, withstand extreme heat, and recharge in minutes — all without sacrificing safety. These conditions demand materials far beyond conventional EV standards.

While today’s racing batteries are built from advanced lithium-ion chemistries, the trend is clear: ultra-high-purity 99.99% (4N) lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is becoming increasingly important for next-generation motorsport cells. Even trace levels of sodium, calcium, or heavy metals can raise internal resistance, reduce conductivity, or destabilize thermal management. Starting with 4N LiOH ensures greater conductivity, thermal stability, and cycle consistency under punishing race conditions.

These requirements go beyond “battery-grade.” Racing-grade lithium compounds must consistently achieve 99.99% (4N) purity to unlock gains in performance and safety when every fraction of a second matters.

Though refined for the racetrack, the innovations driven by ultra-high-purity lithium ripple outward into aerospace and future EV technologies — proving that 4N LiOH is not just for speed, but for the future of high-performance energy.
