A literature review of reactions and kinetics of lithium hydride hydrolysis

Studies of lithium hydride (LiH) reactions with H2O are reviewed in this paper. We discuss reaction products that are formed and the reaction kinetics involved. For discussion purposes, the studies are roughly categorized as reactions between LiH and H2O in low and higher concentration regimes, as well as reactions between LiH hydrolysis products. Both LiH and H2O can exist in many structural or phase variations and can contain various impurities, all of which may affect products and kinetics.
