Chemical Properties:
Lithium is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal recognized as the lightest metal and one of the most reactive. It is highly flammable and reacts vigorously with water to produce lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Due to its low atomic mass and high electrochemical potential, lithium is essential in energy storage systems, particularly in lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries. Additionally, lithium is used in ceramics, glass production, aerospace alloys, and nuclear fusion processes. In thin-film and sputtering applications, lithium compounds are predominantly utilized as cathode materials for rechargeable batteries.
