Lithium carbonate

What is lithium carbonate used for?

Given its versatility, lithium carbonate is used in various industries, such as electronics, ceramics, metallurgy, glass, among others. Due to its high electrochemical potential and the fact that it is the lightest solid element, its main use is as a cathode material in lithium ion batteries. These batteries have had a strong and growing demand in recent times, mainly due to the great growth in the electric vehicle market, but also due to their use in laptops, mobile phones, and digital cameras.
