Lithium Chloride Monohydrate is extensively used as a desiccant in air conditioning systems due to its moisture-absorbing properties. In biochemistry, it serves as a component in RNA isolation buffers to precipitate nucleic acids selectively. Additionally, it acts as a flux in brazing and soldering applications and is employed in lithium-ion battery research for electrolyte formulation. Its hygroscopic nature also makes it valuable in humidity control experiments.
