Used as a desiccant in air conditioning and industrial drying systems. Applied in molecular biology for RNA precipitation and purification. Used in chemical synthesis as a reagent or catalyst component. Employed in batteries and electrolyte research. Utilized in humidity control systems.

Its main purpose is to provide lithium ions or to act as a drying or desiccating agent due to its strong affinity for water.

Lithium chloride is an inorganic salt that is highly soluble in water and strongly hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). It readily dissociates into lithium and chloride ions in solution.
