Abstract: The applications of lithium hydroxide in different fields were briefly introduced.The different preparation methods and principles of lithium hydroxide by electrolysis,as well as effect and requirement of each kind of ion in the raw materials on electrolytic process were described in detail.Advantages and disadvantages of those methods were analyzed.The existing problems were summarized and the prospect was predicted on the basis of fundamental realities and current development status of Chinese lithium salt industry.Furthermore,it also pointed out that the future direction of research and development. That is not only to pay attention to simplified method and reduced cost,but also consider the comprehensive utilization of resources and environmental protection.

Key words: lithium hydroxide, electrolysis, lithium salt
