What is LiMnO4? Important knowledge about LiMnO4.

1. Definition of LiMnO₄

LiMnO₄, also known as Lithium Manganate, is an inorganic compound with the formula LiMnO₄. The atomic mass of LiMnO₄ consists of 1 Lithium atom, 1 Manganese atom, and 4 Oxygen atoms, constituting an atomic mass of 118.87 g/mol. The LiMnO₄ molecule has a structure formed from the MnO₄- group and Li+ ions.

2. Properties of LiMnO₄

2.1 Physical properties of LiMnO₄
LiMnO₄ typically appears as a blackish-green powder or dark red crystals. This substance has no characteristic odour and the pH value cannot be determined because it is insoluble in water.

2.2 Chemical properties of LiMnO₄
LiMnO₄ easily decomposes when in contact with strong acids to produce other products such as Li+, Mn₂+, O₂ and H₂O. This compound also has the ability to electrolyze to produce other ions.

3. Common chemical reactions of LiMnO₄
   Because LiMnO₄ is insoluble in water and easily decomposes, it rarely participates in common chemical reactions with metals, acids, reactions with nonmetals, and salts.

4. Synthesis of LiMnO₄

4.1 Laboratory synthesis of LiMnO₄
LiMnO₄ can be synthesized through the electrolysis process or the reaction between LiOH and MnO₂.

4.2 Industrial synthesis of LiMnO₄
In industry, LiMnO₄ is commonly produced by using the “hydrothermal reaction” process with LiOH and MnO₂.
