Lithium Carbonate is primarily used as a mood stabilizer in psychiatric treatments for bipolar disorder. In energy storage, it serves as a precursor for lithium-ion battery cathodes, enhancing energy density. It also finds utility in ceramics and glass production to lower melting points and improve thermal properties. Laboratory researchers employ it as a pH regulator in chemical synthesis. Industrial applications include its use in aluminum smelting to reduce energy consumption.
