Power Materials
The chemical element of atomic number 3, a soft silver-white metal. It is the lightest of the alkali metals. Lithium and its compounds have several industrial applications, including heat-resistant glass and ceramics, lithium grease lubricants, flux additives for iron, steel and aluminium production, lithium batteries, and lithium-ion batteries. These uses consume more than three-quarters of lithium production.
