Lithium will ignite and burn in oxygen when exposed to water or water vapor. In moist air, lithium rapidly tarnishes to form a black coating of lithium hydroxide (LiOH and LiOH·H 2 O), lithium nitride (Li 3 N) and lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3, the result of a secondary reaction between LiOH and CO 2).

A lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses the reversible intercalation of Li + ions into electronically conducting solids to store energy. In comparison with other commercial rechargeable batteries, Li-ion batteries are characterized by higher specific energy, higher energy density, higher energy efficiency, a longer cycle life, and a longer calendar life.
A lithium-titanate battery is a modified lithium-ion battery that uses lithium-titanate nanocrystals, instead of carbon, on the surface of its anode.This gives the anode a surface area of about 100 square meters per gram, compared with 3 square meters per gram for carbon, allowing electrons to enter and leave the anode quickly.
One problem with the lithium–sulfur design is that when the sulfur in the cathode absorbs lithium, volume expansion of the Li x S compositions occurs, and predicted volume expansion of Li 2 S is nearly 80% of the volume of the original sulfur. [35] This causes large mechanical stresses on the cathode, which is a major cause of rapid degradation.

21% of Americans have chronic pain. A new study found that diets rich in vegetables, fruits, grains, lean proteins, and dairy was linked to less chronic pain.
Nguyễn Đình Chiểu was born in the southern province of Gia Định, the location of modern Saigon.He was of gentry parentage; his father was a native of Thừa Thiên–Huế, near Huế; but, during his service to the imperial government of Emperor Gia Long, he was posted south to serve under Lê Văn Duyệt, the governor of the south.
