Witness the explosive reaction of lithium batteries in water.

A common lithium salt has revealed new possibilities for manufacturing cheaper, longer-lasting battery materials.

Multiple lithium-ion batteries exploded in Portland State University’s Engineering Building Tuesday morning, forcing more ...

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion reactors. The new approach doesn’t require toxic mercury, as conventional methods ...

Mecklenburg County Solid Waste is urging residents and businesses to not throw away lithium-ion batteries after three fires ...

the more vigorous its reactions are the more easily it ... There is fizzing as the lithium reacts with the water to produce hydrogen gas. The colour of the universal indicator changes from green ...

Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a way to do this without using toxic mercury ...

If it did come into contact with the air, it would react very quickly. When added to a bowl of water, lithium fizzes quickly as hydrogen gas is given off. If a piece of less reactive copper was ...

Lithium tends to occur in layers of volcanic ash, but it reacts quickly with water. When rain or snowmelt moves through the ash layers, lithium leaches into the groundwater, moving downhill until ...

Lithium, whose silvery-white colour tarnishes on oxidation when exposed to air, is the most electropositive metal (−3.04 V versus a standard hydrogen electode), the lightest (M = 6.94 g mol −1 ...

Under the blazing Atacama sun, water evaporates from the mixture, leaving behind piles of salt and lithium. After evaporation, the lithium chloride from the Salar de Atacama is loaded on to trucks ...
