Abstract

Behavior of lithium peroxide samples at heating in air was studied by the methods of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). In the temperature range from 32 to 82°C all the studied samples we found to react with water vapor forming lithium peroxide monohydrate as confirmed by the methods of chemical analysis and of qualitative X-ray phase analysis. It was found experimentally that in the temperature range from 340 to 348°C lithium peroxide began to decompose into lithium oxide and oxygen, the starting temperature depended on the method of preparation of lithium peroxide. For all the studied samples polymorphism in the temperature range from 25 to 340°C was not detected.
