Lithium is a silver-white colored alkali metal, which is commonly present among the plants, soil, animals, human body and animals. It is extracted from the mineral springs and ores where it is present in small amounts. Lithium reacts with water and is corrosive in nature. It forms several inorganic and organic compounds such as oxide, hydride, carbide, hydroxide, nitride, etc.
Lithium is light in weight among all the metals and consist of less density in comparison to all solids. The lithium compounds, primarily found its application in rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. It is used many products, such as ceramics, high strength alloys, low weight alloys, and heat-resistant glass that are mainly used in aircraft. Further, it is also used across the healthcare industry in order to treat bipolar disorder. The industry is driven by multiple consumer industries comprising glass & ceramics, and Li-ion batteries including others.
