Overview of lithium Nitride
Lithium Nitride is an alloy of metal and nitrogen, which appears as a crystalline solid in purple or red. Li3N is the chemical formula for lithium nitride. The nitride has a light green color under transmitted light and a dark ruby color when it is reflected. After prolonged exposure to the atmosphere, lithium carbonate is formed. The chemistry of metal nitrides at their base is very limited. Only lithium nitride among the binary compound is stable.
Metal lithium exposed to the atmosphere at room temperature will partially produce lithium nitride. In nitrogen streams, lithium generates lithium-nitride at a rate 10-15 times higher than when exposed to air. At this moment, all the lithium is converted into nitride. It is much more difficult for alkali metals than lithium to form nitrides. As an example, sodium-nitrite must be deposited on sapphire using the atomic laser at a low temperature. After a few minutes of heating, it will decompose.
Lithium nitride in water: is it soluble?
The fine powdered form of lithium nitride can be explosively combustible when heated. It is important to handle lithium nitride in an inert (such a nitrogen) atmosphere.
It appears as a powdery reddish brown color. Insoluble in organic solvents. It is used in metallurgy, chemical synthesis and other fields. The lithium nitride is composed of a lithium salt, and a nitride.
What is the lithium nitride composed of?
Lithium and nitrogen are combined to form this product. It’s unusual, because it is almost impossible to find another element that reacts at the same temperature with nitrogen as lithium. This can be done by reacting sodium with lithium dissolved.
Does Lithium Nitride Burn in the Air?
Uniquely, lithium reacts also with the nitrogen present in the atmosphere to produce lithium nitride. If heated in the atmosphere, Lithium produces a strong red flame. As a matter of fact, it can also react with nitrogen to form lithium nitride.
Li3N is it covalent or ionic?
Lithium Nitride is the only alkali metal known to be thermodynamically stabile. It is also the most ionic among all known nitrides. At ambient pressure the nitrogen is in an anomalous, multiple-charged (N3-), state that is only stable due to its crystallization environment: a hexagonal, bipyramidal of Li+ions.
What is the purpose of lithium nitride?
Lithium Nitride comes in a brownish red solid, or as a sand like powder. It is used in reducing agents. Lithium nitride is listed on the Hazardous Substance List by DOT. This chemical is included on the Special Health Hazard Substance List due to its FLAMMABILITY and REACTIVITY.
Fast ion materials should have higher decomposition values, lower electronic conductivity levels, and higher ion conductivity. They also need to be more chemically stable. Many lithium fast ion conductors possess the characteristics mentioned above, which allow them to be used in making all-solid-state battery with superior performance. They are used for powering calculators, cameras flashes, watches, electronic products, and many other electronic devices.
Lithium nitride has many uses, including as an electrolyte. It is also a catalyst that converts hexagonal boron-nitride into cubic boron-nitride.
The performance of OLEDs can be improved by adding lithium nitride to the tris (8 hydroxy quinoline ) aluminum (Alq3) layers. Literature has reported the use of Li3N as an electron injection and cathode. The buffer between the two can improve the device’s performance.

Scientists Say Lithium Could Be Added To Drinking Water To Prevent Suicide
In a recent study published in ‘British Journal of Psychiatry,’ researchers found a link between the amount of lithium in water and suicide rates.
Scientists claim that adding Lithium into the water supply could help prevent suicide. When 7 Up was first introduced in 1929, they may have had a good idea.
A new study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry by Brighton and Sussex Medical School found a link between areas with higher levels of lithium in drinking water and a lower rate of suicide.
Anjum Memon, lead author of the study and BSMS press release, said that it was promising that higher trace levels of lithium in drinking waters may have an antisuicide effect.
King’s College London has funded a portion of the study. It is a comprehensive meta-analysis of 30 years of research done in Austria Greece Italy Lithuania UK Japan USA.
Coronavirus Can Have A Devastating Impact On Mental. The conclusion is that “randomized community trials” of lithium supplementation to the water supply in communities with high rates of mental illness and suicide risk could further test lithium’s protective abilities.
The report states that: “These results, which are consistent in clinical trials, that lithium reduces suicidal behavior and suicide risk in people who have a mood disorder suggest that naturally occurring Lithium in drinking water has the potential to lower the suicide rate and possibly stabilize mood in populations that have high suicide rates or geographical areas that contain a higher range of concentration of Lithium in the drinking waters.”
Early in the 20th century, Lithium drinks such as 7Up (which was devoid of lithium by 1949), Lithia Beer, and Lithia water, a Native American sacred spring in Georgia, were promoted for their calming properties. In the past, lithium was used in phones and batteries because of its electroconductive properties. In online health shops, lithium orotate is sold as a supplement for mood-balancing. But its effectiveness has not been proven.
The study found that drinking water provided a constant, low dose of the lithium element, perhaps since birth. It is not yet known what optimal blood levels lithium can exert to prevent suicide. Trace doses of lithium have also been shown to be effective.
One small randomized controlled study showed that former drug addicts who were given micro-doses (400 micrograms daily), experienced an improvement in mood, when compared to those taking a placebo. It is possible, therefore, that lithium at doses lower than the ones used in psychiatry can influence mood, and perhaps reduce suicide risks.
But drinking water is not the only way to consume lithium. Although some areas of Texas have high concentrations (340 micrograms per day) of lithium in their drinking water, research shows that it reduces cocaine and heroin arrests, suicidal behavior and violent criminal activity.
