General description

Lithium (Li) is a highly reactive alkali metal known for its lightweight and electrochemical properties. This product is available in foil form and has a resistivity of 9.446 μΩ-cm at 20°C. With an assay of 99.9%, lithium is characterized by its low melting point of 180 °C and a density of 0.534 g/mL at 25 °C. Lithium is extensively utilized in the production of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which power a wide range of electronic devices, including smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles. Its lightweight nature and high energy density make it an ideal choice for energy storage applications. Additionally, lithium compounds are used in the manufacturing of ceramics, glass, and lubricating greases, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties.
