It doesn't "explode", it reacts with the water to product Lithium Hydroxide. It's very flammable though.

Naturally, it's usually found in Brine Pools in trace amounts which are extracted and evaporated, and because it reacts with basically everything it has to be stored in petroleum jelly or mineral oil.

I don't know why Lithium is available as-is in Subnautica.
