  2. Lithium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium

    Seven radioisotopes have been characterized, the most stable being 8 Li with a half-life of 838 ms and 9 Li with a half-life of 178 ms. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are shorter than 8.6 ms. The shortest-lived isotope of lithium is 4 Li, which decays through proton emission and has a half-life of 7.6 × 10 −23 ...

  4. Lithium-ion battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

    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.

  5. Half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life

    Half-life 3 (symbol t ½) is the time required for a quantity (of substance) to reduce to half of its initial value.The term is commonly used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay or how long stable atoms survive.

  6. Isotopes of lithium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_lithium

    Naturally occurring lithium (3 Li) is composed of two stable isotopes, lithium-6 (6 Li) and lithium-7 (7 Li), with the latter being far more abundant on Earth. Both of the natural isotopes have an unexpectedly low nuclear binding energy per nucleon (5 332.3312(3) keV for 6 Li and 5 606.4401(6) keV for 7 Li) when compared with the adjacent lighter and heavier elements, helium (7 073.9156(4) keV ...

  9. History of the lithium-ion battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_lithium-ion...

    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]
