Lithium is commonly called white gold because of its market value and silver color. Lithium is a soft white silver like alkali metal chemical element. White gold was found in 1817 by Swedish chemist Johan August Arfwedson in the mineral petalite. Lithium is also found in brine deposits and as salts in mineral springs; its concentration in seawater. Throughout the years, Man kind’s development has solely depended on petroleum and its products which are commonly called Black diamond. In recent years, due to the global worming which has cause man to diversify his source of energy, electric vehicle have come to place. The advent of this has led to the mad rush for Lithium. But why Lithium? Lithium is one of the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. In the latter part of the 20th century, Lithium became important as the anode material of lithium batteries. The high electrochemical potential of this element makes it a reliable component of high energy rechargeable batteries. With this potential, lithium is highly needed in the production of electric vehicles. Global economic superpowers are in a rush to secure sources of lithium for themselves. This mad rush for lithium has led to the scramble for this precious metal. Hello there, as we ride on, please like this video and subscribe to our channel.
