High Purity (99.999%) Lithium (Li) ballsAmerican Elements specializes in producing high purity uniform shaped Lithium Balls. A wide variety of sizes and tolerances are available upon request. Custom compositions for commercial and research applications and for new proprietary technologies are also available. American Elements also casts any of the rare earth metals and most other advanced materials into rod, bar or plate form, as well as other machined shapes and through other processes such as nanoparticles (See also application discussion at Nanotechnology Information and at Quantum Dots) and in the form of solutions and organometallics. See safety data and research below and pricing/lead time above. We also produce ingot, powder, pieces, disc, granules, wire, and compound forms, such as oxide. Other shapes are available by request.

Lithium (Li) atomic and molecular weight, atomic number and elemental symbolLithium is a Block S, Group 1, Period 2 element. The number of electrons in each of Lithium's shells is 2, 1 and its electronic configuration is [He] 2s1. In its elemental form lithium's CAS number is 7439-93-2. The lithium atom has a radius of 152.pm and its Van der Waals radius is 182.pm. Lithium is toxic and corrosive. Lithium is a member of the alkali group of metals. It has the highest specific heat and electrochemical potential of any material, making it important in applications involving heat transfer and as the anode in batteries. Lithium Bohr Model In a recent report, the Institute of Electric and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) predicted that Lithium ion battery technology will be key to developing grid-level energy storage solutions as the demand for solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources rises during the next five years. Lithium is available as metal and compounds with purities from 99% to Elemental Lithium99.999% (ACS grade to ultra-high purity); metals in the form of foil, sputtering target, and rod, and compounds as submicron and nanopowder. Lithium is a dopant in advanced optical glass. It is used as an alloy in light weight metals. Lithium stearate is a common high temperature lubricant. Because of its high reactivity, Lithium does not occur naturally in elemental form. Lithium was first discovered by Johann Arvedson in 1817. The origin of the name Lithium comes from the Greek word lithose which means "stone". See Lithium research below.
