Lithium is a vital element in the battery industry, as it is the lightest and least dense metal, providing the highest power-to-weight ratio. Not only applied on phone batteries or some portable electronic devices, lithium is also essential in technology production of batteries for electric cars – a component that accounts for about one-third of the vehicle’s cost, and is one of the factors that directly affect the competitiveness of an electric vehicle in the market.
