Used as a desiccant for drying gases due to its strong hygroscopic nature. Employed in the production of lithium metal through electrolysis. Serves as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in carbon-carbon bond formation. Utilized in air conditioning systems for humidity control. Applied in research laboratories as an electrolyte in batteries and electrochemical studies. Used for the precipitation of biomolecules such as DNA to facilitate isolation. Also used in the pharmaceutical industry for the formulation of certain medications and in biological experiments to induce cell transformation.
