Lithium is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal known for being the lightest metal with the lowest density among all metals. Highly reactive and flammable, lithium is typically stored in mineral oil. It is extensively used in rechargeable batteries found in mobile phones, laptops, and electric vehicles due to its high energy density and efficient cycling capabilities. Additionally, lithium plays a vital role in certain pharmaceuticals and the production of glass and ceramics.
Cobalt is a hard, shiny, silvery-blue metal essential in producing strong, wear-resistant alloys. With the chemical symbol Co and atomic number 27, it is naturally found in the Earth’s crust, often combined with elements like nickel and copper. Cobalt is a critical component in lithium-ion battery cathodes, enhancing battery stability and overall performance. Beyond batteries, cobalt is used in the manufacture of magnets, turbines, cutting tools, and in various medical and industrial applications due to its high-temperature resilience.
