In that detection method, Lithium ions cannot remain without electrons through an acid bath. The lithium ions will have been completly neutralized. The detection method will detect lithium as the results of the method have proven. Your assertion does not make sense. The analysts would not use a detection method that did not detect lithium because they provided results that showed lithium.
Once lithium got inside the nickel particle why would lithium ever leave nickel. If lithium was an a complete ion, it would be capured by the electrons from nickel and share them. A nickel lithium alloy would have formed. There are so many free electrons on and inside nickel, the is not possiblity that a triply ionized lithium atom could get inside and then leave nickel metal. You just can't assert that such an ion process is possible.
