Etymology

The term 'lithium' originates from the Greek word 'lithos,' which means 'stone.' It was first discovered in 1817 by Swedish chemist Johan August Arfwedson while he was analyzing petalite ore. Later, it was isolated in 1821 by William Thomas Brande, and in 1855, chemist A. J. Berzelius produced pure lithium. Its unique properties, such as low density and high electrochemical potential, draw significant interest for various technological applications, especially in batteries. Lithium became increasingly important in the late 20th century, especially with the rise of portable electronics and renewable energy solutions.
