Review of analytical techniques for the determination of lithium: From conventional to modern technique

Abstract

Renewable energy development and usage have spread around the world. This issue occurs as part of attempts to minimize the world's reliance on increasingly finite fossil resources. This has accelerated the transition from fossil-fuel cars to battery-powered electric vehicles. Lithium is a critical component of the battery. As a result, the worldwide usage of lithium will rise as the use of lithium batteries rises. Therefore, a quick and precise technique for identifying lithium is critical in exploration to fulfill the worldwide demand for lithium. Furthermore, a reliable lithium test for monitoring medicine doses for people with bipolar illness and areas contaminated with lithium battery waste is required. Thus, this research presents critical views on the literature addressing various lithium monitoring strategies. This work then examines the progress of lithium technology using conventional, spectroscopic, and electrochemical methods. Furthermore, bibliometric analysis is used to identify trends in the future usage of the desired technology. This leads to the creation of analytical equipment and portable systems for lithium detection in geological exploration, environmental, and medical domains.
