Lithium drives current battery technology by being the primary component in lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in electric vehicles, solar energy storage, and other applications. Lithium-ion batteries offer high energy density, relatively lightweight, and rechargeability, making them a crucial element in modern energy management solutions.
"The War Below" primarily discusses lithium and copper as critical materials for powering our lives, with a focus on their importance in renewable energy technologies such as electric vehicles, solar panels, and batteries. The book explores the global battle for these resources and the challenges associated with mining and its environmental impact.
