Abstract—Experimental data are reported for the isotope distribution in the electrochemical implantation of
lithium and hydrogen isotopes in metals and composite materials from LiOD and LiOH solutions. General reg-
ularities are identified for the changes in isotopic composition in the metal–matrix in which ions are implanted,
in impurities in the metals, and in the ions responsible for electrolyte conductivity. Possible mechanisms for
lithium implantation are considered on the basis of the analysis of isotope distribution.

Key words: lithium, hydrogen, electrochemical implantation, titanium, aluminum, composite materials
