About Lithium Metal
Lithium metal is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal, the lightest of all metals and the least dense solid element at room temperature. It's highly reactive and doesn't occur naturally in its metallic state, but is found in various compounds like spodumene and brine. It easily reacts with water and oxygen. This reactivity makes it unsuitable for everyday use in its pure form, but it's a crucial component in various applications due to its unique properties. Lithium metal's unique properties and growing demand, especially for electric vehicle batteries, are driving research into safer and more efficient ways to utilize it.
