LiIonen

LiIonen, or lithium ions, are the positively charged species of lithium with a single positive charge, Li+. In chemical compounds and solution, lithium commonly exists as Li+ after electron loss.

Li+ is a small, highly charged ion with a high charge density. It is strongly hydrated in

In lithium-ion batteries, lithium ions move through an electrolyte between the anode and cathode during charging

Biology and medicine: lithium ions are used as pharmaceuticals in mood stabilization; therapeutic use requires careful

Safety and environment: lithium salts can be toxic in high concentrations; proper handling, storage and disposal

LiIonen are fundamental in modern technologies and natural processes, affecting chemistry, energy storage, and, in proper
