这是什么？
A soft, silvery metal so light it floats on water, and the element that lets a rechargeable battery store a lot of energy for very little weight.
为何重要？
Almost every phone, laptop and electric car on Earth runs on a lithium-ion battery. There is no drop-in replacement that matches it on energy per kilogram today.

所有含矿矿物 →实际承载以下内容的矿物： lithium. 只有其中某种物质的富集程度足以覆盖开采成本，矿床才能成为矿体。
Lithium Brine
Not a mineral but a saturated salt solution beneath a salar. Concentrated by solar evaporation over 12-24 months, or…
Spodumene
The main hard-rock lithium mineral. Fresh spodumene contains up to 8% Li2O; concentrate is sold at about 6%.
Lepidolite
A lithium mica. Rich in fluorine, which complicates processing, but also carries rubidium and caesium.
Petalite
A lower-grade lithium silicate, historically important in glass and ceramics.
