Lithium is a metal with high electrical conductivity, low viscosity, very light and low coefficient of thermal expansion. This gives it a high energy density and, being the lightest metal in the periodic table, allows it to store a greater electrical charge per kilogram. In this way, the accelerated expansion of electric vehicles has generated interest and demand much higher than what existed a few years ago for lithium and it is projected that between 2021 and 2030 the global demand for lithium will multiply by 4 times.
