Interests on lithium extraction from the Chinese salt-lake brines have regained momentum
due to the growing demand of lithium for application in electric vehicles. Characterized by a …

Lithium, the lightest alkali metal, has been called the “new white gold” because of its limited
availability and critical importance in arising applications in clean energy, like hybrid and …

Abstract Lithium-selective (Li+) di-hydroxy crown ethers (CEs 3a–3h) were efficiently
synthesized via intermolecular cyclization of bulky bis-epoxide with 1, 2-dihydroxybenzene …

Lithium is a metal in increasingly high demand due to its use in lithium-ion batteries.
However, the extraction from aqueous resources as brines and seawater, which account for …

In order to effectively extract lithium from salt lake brine, a novel magnetic graphene oxide-
based lithium ion-imprinted polymer (IIP-GO/Fe 3 O 4@ C) was developed by combining …

With the increasing demand for lithium resources, recovering lithium from solid wastes (such
as spent lithium batteries, lithium-rich fly ash) has become a new source of lithium. To meet …

Effective separation of lithium isotopes (6 Li and 7 Li) is of great importance for the
development of nuclear energy. Crown ethers (CEs) are widely used and reported …

Nuclear energy is considered as the ultimate solution for future energy needs. High-purity
lithium isotopes (6 Li and 7 Li) serve as the foundation raw materials for nuclear reactions …

Coal-based solid waste, as a secondary resource, contains significant quantities of
aluminum, silicon, and lithium resources. The desilication solution is a waste solution with …

A novel lithium ion imprinted membrane (Li+-IIM) was synthesized by unipolar pulsed
