Lithium peroxide is used in air purifiers where weight is important. It absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen in the reaction. This is an important compound in the field of energy storage, as it is used in the development of lithium-air batteries. The mechanism of action of Lithium peroxide involves the transfer of electrons between the lithium and oxygen atoms. This transfer results in the formation of lithium ions and oxygen radicals, which can react with other compounds in the surrounding environment. Additionally, Lithium peroxide may act to have antioxidant properties.
