Lithium natural, deposit

L. B. Sand As mentioned in the text, these lithium-containing synthetic zeolites do not occur in nature, so experimental data do not apply to the problem of genesis. The synthesis of Na-mordenite at low temperature (75°C) could be of some significance, but a great deal of experimental data are required to apply to the interpretation the conditions for formation in a natural deposit.

The cycling improvement for the Cu-metallized graphite over the pristine graphite was also observed by K. Guo et al. [15] in their study of electroless Cu deposited on graphite cycled in a lithium cell with a 20% PC blend electrolyte. Also, they recorded a rate capability improvement in their Cu graphite material as well. At a current density of 1.4 mA/cm2, the cell achieved about 60% ( 200 mAh/g) of the charge capacity measured at 0.14 mA/cm2, compared to about 30% ( 100 mAh/g) for the non-treated pristine natural graphite cell [15]. 

This allows metal dissolution-deposition processes to occur at a relatively low overpotential. A typical example for such behavior is lithium in many polar aprotic systems. The nature of the surface films in these cases determines the following possibilities ... 

Like the other alkali metals, cesium is a soft, silvery metal, but it appears golden if it has been exposed to small amounts of oxygen. It is not found in its metallic state in nature it is obtained as a byproduct of lithium processing of the mineral lepidolite. Its most significant ore is pollucite, and the world s largest pollucite deposit is found in Bernic Lake, Manitoba, Canada. Cesium s average crustal abundance is about 3 parts per million. Cesium is the most electropositive stable element and will ignite if exposed to air. Cesium burns blue in the flame test.
