Lithium might also be needed in the generation of energy
from nuclear fusion and fission. Go see:

Researchers find lithium effective in nuclear fusion
Researchers from the US and China have made progress
in their joint collaboration on the use of lithium to control
plasma within experimental nuclear fusion reactors.
