The price of lithium hydroxide, a refined form of lithium used in more expensive, longer-range batteries which are preferred outside China, has held up better than that of carbonate.

氢氧价格要比碳酸坚挺一些。 氢氧是一种精炼形式，用于制造昂贵、续航里程电池， 这种电池在中国以外地区受欢迎。

It will float on water though not for long because it is also one of the most reactive and turns rapidly into lithium hydroxide and its atoms have three electrons.

它会浮在水上，但不会很久，因为它也是最活泼元素之一，会迅速变成氢氧，原子有三个电子。

It will help that hydroxide cannot be stored forever. In the longer run, rising demand for lithium for energy storage, supported by green policies in America, Europe and China, could make the market even tighter.

这有助于氢氧无法无限期储存。 从远来看，随着美国、欧洲和中国绿色政策支持， 能源存储对需求上升，可能会使市场加紧张。

Another reason is that when you fully discharge your battery until it's dead, it can result in too much lithium on the cobalt side, which causes the irreversible generation of lithium oxide and cobalt 2 oxide.

另一个原因是， 当你将电池完全放电到死机状态时，会导致钴一侧积累过多，从而引起不可逆氧和二氧钴生成。
