The wide application of lithium batteries in consumer electronics and electric vehicles bring
about ever-rising demand of lithium resources globally. Nanofiltration (NF) membranes with …

To effectively separate Mg 2+ and Li+ from salt lake brine with high Mg 2+/Li+ mass ratio, a
positive charged nanofiltration membrane with abundant-NH 3+ and-NH 2+ was designed …

Recently, polydopamine (PDA) has emerged as a popular material due to its striking
properties. As a novel bio-inspired material, PDA can be easily formed in environmental …
