Lithium Metal CYGNET INTERNATIONAL HOLDING (U) Ltd. recognized that rapid electrification of transportation, and the adoption of next generation high-performance  (solid-state, lithium-sulfur, lithium-air, etc.) will require a vast expansion of lithium anode and lithium metal production. Lithium s are gaining rapid momentum as they are finding increased application in electric vehicles and for power backups in renewable energy systems. Lithium batteries can also be used in cars, homes UPS, toys and remote controls.

Lithium – is a chemical element with the symbol Li. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the lightest solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable, and must be stored in mineral oil. When cut, it exhibits a metallic luster, but moist air corrodes it quickly to a dull silvery gray, then black tarnish. It never occurs freely in nature, but only in (usually ionic) compounds, such as pegmatitic minerals, which were once the main source of lithium. Due to its solubility as an ion, it is present in ocean water and is commonly obtained from brines. Lithium metal is isolated electrolytically from a mixture of lithium chloride and potassium chloride.
