Did you know?
Lithium was discovered in 1817 by Swedish chemist Johan August Arfvedson, who identified it as a new alkali metal while analyzing the mineral petalite. It was named from the Greek word “lithos” meaning stone. From this humble beginning, lithium has embarked on an incredible journey that continues to this day.
As specialists in lithium extraction, we at Adionics find the history of lithium not only fascinating, but also fundamental to understanding its impact on technology and sustainability.
