LiI
Lithium iodide is white crystalline solid salt but when exposed in air it becomes yellow in color as oxidation of iodine to iodine takes place. Lithium iodide is extensively used as an electrolyte for high temperature batteries. It is also used for providing longer life to the batteries. Furthermore, lithium iodide is soluble in propanol, ethanol, ethanediol and ammonia.
Alkali halide scintillators are among the popular materials for scintillation applications and are widely used in the areas such as high energy physics, nuclear physics, medicine, geology, astrophysics and security. LiI crystals have attracted attention owing to the presence of 6Li nuclei that have a large capture cross-section for thermal neutrons. LiI crystals have been grown with different activators and tested for scintillation properties.
