Lithium imide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Li2NH. It is a white solid that turns brick red in sunshine.After vacuo heating the mixture returns to white.It can be synthesized by the decomposition of lithium amide:Its crystal structure is similar to lithium oxide (a = 504pm) and its density is 1.48g/cm3. It is also a strong base that is able to react with many organic compounds.Leyden Energy is working on battery technology involving lithium imide.
