Spodumene: Used as a lithium source mineral …
Lithium battery: One of the primary uses of spodumene is in the production of high-purity lithium for use in lithium-ion batteries. The popularity of small electronic devices such as cell phones, portable computers, and cameras is driving the demand for spodumene.
Spodumene - Wikipedia
Spodumene is a pyroxene mineral consisting of lithium aluminium inosilicate, Li Al(Si O 3) 2, and is a source of lithium.It occurs as colorless to yellowish, purplish, or lilac kunzite (see below), yellowish-green or emerald-green hiddenite, prismatic crystals, often of great size.Single crystals of 14.3 m (47 ft) in size are reported from the Black Hills of South Dakota, United States.
Lithium - Wikipedia
Lithium and its compounds have several industrial applications, including heat-resistant glass and ceramics, lithium grease lubricants, flux additives for iron, steel and aluminium production, lithium batteries, and lithium-ion batteries. These uses consume more than three quarters of lithium production.
Lithium — Wikipédia
Le lithium sert à la production de tritium par la réaction : 6 Li + n → 4 He + 3 H. Par ailleurs, le deutérure de lithium de formule 6 Li 2 H sert de combustible à la bombe H. Le lithium pur est un métal mou, de couleur gris argenté, qui se ternit et soxyde très rapidement au contact de lair et de leau, prenant une teinte gris foncé virant rapidement à lanthracite et au noir.

Occurrence and production. Discovered in 1817 by Swedish chemist Johan August Arfwedson in the mineral petalite, lithium is also found in brine deposits and as salts in mineral springs; its concentration in seawater is 0.1 part per million (ppm). Lithium is also found in pegmatite ores, such as spodumene (LiAlSi 2 O 6) and lepidolite (of varying structure), or in amblygonite (LiAlFPO 4) ores ...
Lithium supply is set to triple by 2025. Will it be …
Lithium prices plummeted in 2019, as the market tipped into oversupply and EV growth slowed. Production of the battery metal is set to almost triple by 2025 to more than 1.5 million metric tons, but there are concerns that a fall in upstream investment could flip the market into undersupply further out.
World Lithium Supply - Robert B. Laughlin
According to a USGS case study, over the years 1996-2005 the amount of lithium used per year in the United States in four specific battery markets (camcorders, cameras, cell phones, and portable computers) grew threefold, whereas the total U.S. "apparent" consumption of lithium (this does not include imported or exported products) decreased by 7% due to declining U.S. aluminum production.
