The method could pave the way for a more viable, longer-lasting solution for lithium extraction.

The method could pave the way for a more viable longer-lasting solution for lithium extraction which is also more eco-friendly.In a fresh development, a new study undertaken by scientists from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators developed an eco-friendly, durable method for lithium extraction.The researchers sought to address the limitations in separating lithium ions from magnesium ions in salt-lake brine.

The ultimate goal is to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of lithium recovery processes, contributing to the broader adoption of renewable energy technologies and electric mobility.The study introduced a “congener-welded” crystalline carbon nitride membrane with bio-inspired enhancements that significantly outperform traditional polymer membranes according to a statement by the scientists.

The membrane comprises a combination of crystalline and amorphous forms of polymer carbon nitrite which allows for its uniformity and narrow pores. They exclude larger hydrated magnesium ions while letting smooth lithium-ion travel.
