Textbook in PDF format

The use of lithium is increasing at breathtaking speed and is currently changing key industries and the way people live. Lithium is used in an ever-growing number of electric vehicles (EVs), in laptops where the battery power lasts all day on a single charge, in solar panels mounted on roofs, and several other uses, all of which are discussed in this book.
The Science of Lithium fills a wide gap of information previously missing from other published texts dealing with the green energy revolution currently in progress; it provides a comprehensive survey of information on this highly sought-after element, including its chemistry, metallurgical properties, and industrial applications, as well as its drawbacks and environmental implications.
