lithium andiodine . When exposed toair , it becomes yellow in color, due to theoxidation of iodide to iodine. [cite web | title= A PDF file from ESPICorp Inc., a supplier of lithium iodide | url=http://www.espimetals.com/msds's/lithiumiodide.pdf | accessdate = 2005-09-16]Applications
Lithium iodide is used as an
electrolyte for high temperature batteries. It is also used for long life batteries as required, for example, byartificial pacemaker s. The solid is used as aphosphor forneutron detection.
