Lithium foil
Lithium is an extremely soft metal and the lightest of all 103 metallic elements (specific gravity: 0.5). Silver-white in color, lithium reacts violently with water and even at room temperature will react with moisture in the air, turning completely black. The foil is wound into coil form, packed under an inert gas atmosphere, and shipped.
Applications of lithium foil
Lithium foil is primarily used as the negative electrode in cylindrical and button-type lithium primary batteries. Depending on the battery application, it is available as either pure lithium or lithium-aluminum alloy foil.
