Metallic lithium != elemental lithium. If you scrolled down to the chemistry section, they list both the anode and cathode.

    Elemental lithium means that it's pure lithium, i.e. not being in a compound with any other element. Metallic lithium means that lithium is a metal in its pure form. You're awfully confident for how little you seem to know about basic chemistry.
