The raw material used in photovoltaic cells (solar cells) is not lithium ore, but silicon material. The most common type of photovoltaic cell is silicon-based solar cell, which includes monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and amorphous silicon.

Silicon is one of the most common elements in the Earth's crust. It is a non-metallic element with good conductivity and photoelectric properties. Silicon materials can be processed through special processes and techniques to produce solar cells with photoelectric conversion capabilities.

Lithium ore is mainly used in the manufacturing of energy storage batteries such as lithium-ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries are a common type of rechargeable battery widely used in mobile devices, electric vehicles, and other fields. The lithium element in lithium mines is the main raw material for lithium-ion batteries.

Therefore, photovoltaic cells and lithium-ion batteries use different raw materials. Photovoltaic cells use silicon materials, while lithium-ion batteries use lithium elements from lithium mines.
