Good old fireside chat, page-11469

I have an open question for "the fireside chat " to date as far as I can remember all discussions and releases have centred around periodic elements and 2 x compounds LiOH and Li2CO3 , so the question is has anyone considered or possibly researched whether other compounds could be easily created through the production process using the the "less popular" elements and other catalysts to value add new products that have a larger market footprint making their sale exponentially more profitable as well as easier to sell ?
Warmest Regards TT
