Lithium peroxide (LiO₂) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the lithium oxide family, characterized by its ionic crystal structure and oxidizing properties. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for energy storage and oxygen generation applications, particularly in advanced battery systems and aerospace life support technologies where its high energy density and oxygen-releasing capability offer potential advantages over conventional materials. Its use remains largely experimental and specialized, with development focused on next-generation lithium-air batteries and closed-loop environmental control systems in spacecraft.
