Used as a precursor in sol-gel processes for the synthesis of lithium-containing oxide materials, particularly in the fabrication of lithium-ion conducting films and cathode materials for batteries. Plays a role in the preparation of luminescent complexes and coordination compounds due to its ability to chelate metal ions. Employed in research for developing lithium-doped thin films used in electrochromic devices and solid-state sensors. Its solubility in organic solvents makes it suitable for solution-based deposition techniques like spin coating and inkjet printing in electronic device manufacturing.
