This deliquescent colourless salt is an oxidizing agent used in the manufacture of red-colored fireworks and flares. The hydrated form, lithium nitrate trihydrate, has an extremely high specific heat of fusion, 287 (± 7) J/g, and hence can be used for thermal energy storage at its melt temperature of 303.3 K.
