The study of electrochemistry opened many possibilities to reduce the deadly impact that the world of consumption has on itself. Lithium, a small atom, lightweight, unstable is at the center of global efforts to ensure that energy can become portable, consumable and definitely non-polluting. Chemistry becomes over time more and more like art, because it becomes more and more malleable in the image and needs of scientists.
