Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, are often called “forever chemicals” because they break down very slowly in the environment. These chemicals have been widely used in ...
Solvent extraction supports the migration of lithium ions from brine into an organic liquid phase that contains a specific ...
As the global push toward sustainable energy gains momentum, the role of lithium-ion batteries as vital components in electrification and energy storage systems has become indisputable, accelerating ...
Researchers from the University of California, Irvine, Tel Aviv University and several partner institutions have developed a first‑of‑its‑kind membrane capable of transporting charged molecules using ...
A research team has developed an innovative membrane that mimics biological ion channels to achieve highly selective lithium ion separation from complex brines. Their study is published in Nature ...
Canadian company Volt Lithium has developed and pilot-tested a new low-cost lithium extraction method to pull this critical battery metal out of low-concentration brines. Now it plans to turn old oil ...
Scientists have devised an efficient method of recovering high-purity silicon from expired solar panels to produce lithium-ion batteries that could help meet the increasing global demand to power ...
Lithium production has more than tripled in the last decade, with the electric vehicle market causing global demand to soar. However, current lithium production methods are rather inefficient – they ...
The project is expected to significantly enhance India’s domestic capacity for recovering critical minerals through advanced ...
A new report on the impact of lithium mining in South America’s lithium triangle finds the rush to extract lithium in Chile’s Salar de Atacama has had a severe impact on the area’s water supplies.
