Artificial ion channels with ion permeability and selectivity comparable to their biological
counterparts are highly desired for efficient separation, biosensing, and energy conversion …

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 …

Membranes of high ion permselectivity are significant for the separation of ion species at the
subnanometer scale. Here, we report porous organic cage (ie, CC3) membranes with …

Abstract Metal-organic framework (MOF), which is composed of metal ions and bridged
organic ligands, are one of the most high-profile materials currently, because their regular …

Lithium extraction from salt lake brines is highly demanded to circumvent the lithium supply
shortage. However, polymer nanofiltration membranes suffer from low lithium permeability …

It is important to develop methods for efficient extraction of lithium from salt lake brine.
However, the traditional lithium-extraction technology has various limitations, which make it …

Ion exchange membranes (IEMs) that can selectively transport ions are crucial to a variety of
applications, such as ion extraction/separation, fuel cells, redox flow batteries, and water …

Modern technology relies on an undisrupted supply of metals, yet many metals have limited
geological deposits. Recovering metals from wastewater and brine could augment metal …

Lithium is mainly extracted from brine and ores; however, current lithium mining methods
require large amounts of chemicals, discharge many wastes, and can have serious …

Water pollution is an increasingly serious environmental problem because many pollutants
have carcinogenic effects on humans and aquatic organisms. Metal organic framework …
