- Lithium (Li) Metal Description:
The least reactive of the alkali metals, lithium is silvery-white, turning yellowish when exposed to moist air. It does not occur free in nature, but is combined in most igneous rocks and in many mineral springs. Lithium has the highest specific heat of any solid element making it useful in heat transfer applications. With a density only about half that of water, it is the lightest solid element.

a) Aerospace alloys, automobile alloys, battery anodes, catalysts, oxidant/ degasser, precursor, etc.
b) When Lithium metal reacts in batteries, the electric charge it gives off is of a high voltage which is why these are a preferred metal in many single use and rechargeable power cells. Lithium metal can also be combined with other metals to produce lightweight and strong alloys.
c) The element Lithium is also used in medical applications as a mood stabilizer as well as serving many other functions.
