Abstract

Presentation given at the DIII-D Industry Day 2025 on lithium plasma-facing components (PFCs) and edge control in tokamak plasmas. The work discusses lithium injection, divertor power exhaust, edge stability, and performance of liquid lithium PFC concepts in the DIII-D tokamak, including recent experimental and modeling results. This presentation contains figures reproduced or adapted from previously published works. All such material is cited appropriately and remains the property of the respective copyright holders.
