US Deuteride & Deuteroxide Manufacturer
Metal Deuteride & Deuteroxide Supplier
BlankSlate Innovation is a US manufacturer of metal deuterides and deuteroxides — deuterated materials produced in-house under sealed-environment pressure and flow control. We supply reactive metal deuterides such as lithium deuteride (LiD), erbium deuteride (ErD2), and titanium deuteride (TiD2), alongside deuteroxide solutions (LiOD, NaOD, KOD, RbOD, CsOD) in D2O.
Our materials serve fusion and high-energy-density research, neutron-generator target fabrication, LENR and lattice-confinement studies, NMR and isotope labeling, and pharmaceutical deuteration. Erbium deuteride is in stock now; the remaining compounds are made to order. Every order is quote-based, prepared to DOT requirements, and shipped within the United States only.
Catalog
Deuteride & Deuteroxide Product Line
Every compound below links to its dedicated page with specifications, applications, and an SDS. Shipping class drives handling and lead time — reactive metal deuterides are quote-only hazmat items; deuteroxide solutions ship far more easily.

Ship class shown for guidance only and is confirmed per order via each product’s SDS. Class 8 deuteroxide solutions are low-friction and small quantities may move as Limited Quantity; Class 4.3 reactive solids are quote-only, lead-time, scheduled-pickup items. BSI does not produce or sell tritides or lithium-6-enriched LiD.
Our production method is universal across lanthanides, transition metals, and light-element metals (including Be, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca). Need a deuteride not listed here? Request a made-to-order quote or see our custom deuteration service.
Two Product Families
Reactive Deuterides & Deuteroxide Solutions
Reactive Solids — Class 4.3
Metal Deuterides
LiD, ErD2, TiD2, and LiH are air- and moisture-reactive solids used as fusion and neutron-target materials, deuterium sources, and precursors for deuterated reagents such as LiAlD4. They are DOT-regulated hazardous materials handled through a quote flow.
- ■Quote-only with a stated lead time (typically ~2–3 weeks; ErD2 faster from stock).
- ■Prepared to DOT requirements with scheduled hazmat pickup.
- ■Natural-abundance isotopics only — no Li-6 enrichment.
Solutions — Class 8
Deuteroxides in D2O
LiOD, NaOD, KOD, RbOD, and CsOD are supplied as solutions in deuterium oxide. They are the workhorse bases for NMR buffer prep, H/D exchange, isotope labeling, and deuterated pharmaceutical intermediates.
- ■Low-friction Class 8 shipping; small quantities may move as Limited Quantity.
- ■Available at customer-specified concentration in D2O.
- ■RbOD and CsOD fill a gap with no reliable commercial source.
Applications
Who Buys Deuterided Materials
Fusion & HED Research
LiD and metal deuterides as target and fuel materials for fusion and high-energy-density experiments.
Neutron-Generator Targets
ErD2 and TiD2 as loaded targets for sealed-tube neutron generators and neutron sources.
LENR & Lattice Confinement
Deuterided metals for solid-state / lattice-confinement fusion and low-energy nuclear reaction research.
NMR & Isotope Labs
Deuteroxide solutions for D2O buffer preparation, H/D exchange, and isotope labeling.
Pharmaceutical Deuteration
Bases and deuterium sources for the “deuterium switch” and deuterated intermediate synthesis.
Hydrogen-Storage Research
Metal hydrides and deuterides as model systems for hydrogen and deuterium storage studies.
Capabilities
Sealed-Environment Production & Characterization
BSI produces deuterides by controlled reaction of the parent metal with deuterium under sealed-environment pressure and flow control. The same process generalizes across lanthanides, transition metals, and light-element metals, which is what lets us take on made-to-order compounds beyond the standard catalog.
Materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and FTIR through our Texas Tech University and CEES relationships, so you receive documented phase and morphology data rather than an unverified powder.
Shipping & Compliance
How Orders Ship
US ship-to only
We sell to US destinations only. Every quote requires a US ship-to address and a lawful US end-use confirmation — no exports.
DOT hazmat handling
Reactive deuterides ship as Class 4.3 hazmat with scheduled pickup; deuteroxide solutions ship as Class 8. An SDS accompanies every product page.
Lead times
Made-to-order compounds typically ship ~2–3 weeks after a confirmed order. In-stock ErD2 ships faster, after standard hazmat prep.
