Lithium Definition and 103 Threads

Hi For a personal project, I am seeking papers or information on the energy level diagrams (where the y-axis is energy (eV)) for Lithium Nitrite (LiNO2) and di-oxygen (O2). I tried the internet and science direct (www.sciencedirect.com) but to no avail. Any help in this matter would be...

This article caught my attention with the claims. It's not exactly a new star, but some folks paid more attention to it recently, and probably someone finally got around to analyzing the spectrum. Discovery of a Metal-Poor Red Giant Star with the Highest Ultra-Lithium Enhancement...

Hi, a simple question from an amateur: Why does Lithium fission produce energy instead of consuming it? (https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/current-and-future-generation/lithium.aspx) I always thought that fission of heavy elements produces energy, and fusion of light elements...

The folks at MIT have found a way to avoid the dendrites that short-circuit Li Ion batteries. This will allow getting rid of the very flammable liquid electrolyte. https://news.mit.edu/2022/controlling-dendrities-lithium-batteries-1118 Cheers, Tom

Well people i'm looking electric Motorcycles. And the same seller it's selling a 72V50Ah battery and a 72V60Ah battery, both IN THE SAME WEIGHT, every battery in the shop occurs the same. So or we have a factory mistake, scam, witchery .....or...graphene in the lithium. I have been reading that...

A screenshot from a book which describes it: So I am trying to picture this one: 1. A laser is "pumped" through a cylinder made from lithium niobate which is placed at 90 degrees, perpendicularly...so that the laser passes through the body of the cylinder (and not through the 2 round ends)...

Just wondering what would happen if a muon entered the LiH dense environment of a lithium battery. Could it explain the instances of spontaneous combustion of the battery in electric vehicles? Li + H => He

If a rechargeable Lithium battery is new and not used for a few years, will it degrade much slower or as fast as the one that is regularly used, charged and discharged? What if I only start to use it after a few years for the first time, will the battery already degrade so badly

So I read that lithium hydroxide made from Li-7 is used as an anti-corrosion additive in light water reactors purely for the "longevity" and "well being" of the vessel and structural auxiliary elements like steam pipes etc. Lithium separation is a rather chemically "nasty" task if using the...

All the references I find refer to safely charging lithium cells by a method like this: https://www.powerstream.com/li.htm The next page shows the effects on capacity of charging to less than the 4.2 V terminal cell voltage. For example, charging to 4.0 V still provides 73% of the capacity...
