    We all have heard about lithium batteries used in mobile phones.

    Lithium is found throughout nature, but the most important sources are brine (from sea water) and hard rock.

    -Lithium metal is used in lithium batteries, which are the kind you kind in most stores and is made by the electrolysis of lithium salts such as lithium chloride

    -Lithium oxide is used in the manufacture of ceramics.-Lithium hydroxide LiOH is a strong base used to alkalize the reactor coolant in pressurized water reactors for corrosion control and to remove carbon dioxide from rebreathing gas purification systems in spacecraft and submarines. It is also used to make various lithium salts

    -Lithium carbonate, citrate and orotate are salts used to treat depression and biploar disorder

    -Lithium soaps (a soap is the salt of a long chained fatty acid) are used as greases which functions as lubricants in automotive and garage doors

    -Certain lithium salts are present in fireworks which gives it a red color

    -Lithium fluoride is a salt that is very transparent to UV radiation and is used in the manufacture of certain optic lenses and radiation detectors

    The most important use of lithium is in rechargeable batteries for mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras and electric vehicles. Lithium is also used in some non-rechargeable batteries for things like heart pacemakers, toys and clocks.

    Batteries usually, though it just looks like aluminium.

    Probably need to go to a chem lab (or see one on TV) to "see" lithium.  It needs to be stored in oil to prevent contact with oxygen. 

    If you have a cell phone or laptop computer, then the battery inside contains lithium.

    A good place to see lithium is in any well-stocked chemistry lab.
