Lithium has a very low density (0.534 g/cm 3), comparable with pine wood. [14] It is the least dense of all elements that are solids at room temperature; the next lightest solid element (potassium, at 0.862 g/cm 3) is more than 60% denser.
Sun-like stars without planets have 10 times the lithium as Sun-like stars with planets in a sample of 500 stars. [15] [16] The Sun's surface layers have less than 1% the lithium of the original formation protosolar gas clouds despite the surface convective zone not being quite hot enough to burn lithium. [16]
Prices of lithium-ion batteries have fallen over time. Overall, between 1991 and 2018, prices for all types of lithium-ion cells (in dollars per kWh) fell approximately 97%. [79] Over the same time period, energy density more than tripled. [79] Efforts to increase energy density contributed significantly to cost reduction. [83]

They generally have a lower energy density than normal lithium-ion batteries. High costs and concerns about mineral extraction associated with lithium chemistry have renewed interest in sodium-ion battery development, with early electric vehicle product launches in 2023. [36]
Lithium is widely distributed in the lithosphere and mantle as a trace element in silicate minerals. [1] Lithium concentrations are highest in the upper continental and oceanic crusts. Chemical weathering at Earth’s surface dissolves lithium in primary minerals and releases it to rivers and ground waters.
The chronology of the universe describes the history and future of the universe according to Big Bang cosmology.. Research published in 2015 estimates the earliest stages of the universe's existence as taking place 13.8 billion years ago, with an uncertainty of around 21 million years at the 68% confidence level.
