Lithium Market - Outlook and Forecast Market Scope
Lithium is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silvery-white metal that belongs to the alkali metal group in the periodic table. Lithium is the lightest metal and has the highest specific heat capacity of any solid element. Lithium is widely used in various industrial and commercial applications. For instance, it is used in the manufacture of batteries, ceramics, glass, lubricants, and aluminum alloys. Lithium is also used in medicine as a mood stabilizer for the treatment of bipolar disorder. In recent years, lithium has become increasingly important due to the growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems, as lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in these applications. The demand for lithium is expected to continue to grow in the coming years as the transition to a low-carbon energy economy gathers pace
