High purity lithium and related products are provided. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a lithium metal product from which lithium metal is obtained using a selective lithium ion conducting layer. The selective lithium ion conducting layer comprises an active metal ion conducting glass or glass-ceramic that conducts only lithium ions. The present lithium metal product produced using a selective lithium ion conducting layer has the advantage of improved lithium purity when compared to commercial lithium metal. According to the present disclosure, lithium metal having a purity of at least 99.96% by weight based on metal can be obtained. [Selection] Figure 1 |
