Abstract

The importance of lithium in modern industry is proven by a staggering triplication of the market for Li-based batteries, valued at $30b in 2017 and expected to reach $100b by 2025. Lithium is used as nanoparticles, particularly for batteries and electronics applications. Presently, lithium nanopart...
