Used as a desiccant in air drying systems due to its strong hygroscopic nature, effectively removing moisture from gases and solvents. Employed in the production of lithium metal through electrolysis, serving as a key component in molten salt electrolytes. Utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in coupling reactions. Applied in research laboratories for cell culture and genetic studies, where it influences transfection efficiency and gene expression. Also found in some battery technologies and humidity control devices.
