US researchers solve lithium challenge with near-perfect extraction for EV batteries
Traditional lithium extraction struggles to selectively separate lithium from similar ions like magnesium and sodium.
Researchers at Rice University have made a breakthrough in the field of sustainable lithium extraction, which is a crucial component for the electric vehicle industry.
By developing a novel lithium extraction, the team has achieved unprecedented levels of lithium selectivity in aqueous solutions.
This could boost the lithium industry by offering a more sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional mining practices.
