Fusion reactors rely on high-purity lithium to generate tritium, the fuel that sustains deuterium–tritium (D-T) reactions. Owing to the scarcity of tritium, lithium breeder blankets (Figure 1) are employed to surround the plasma and capture high-energy neutrons. This...

Securing Fusion’s Future: Why Lithium Matters Fusion energy is moving toward demonstration as early as 2030s, but its success depends on access to fusion-grade lithium. To sustain fusion reactions and generate tritium fuel, reactors will rely on lithium breeder...
