Nanotechnology Now - Press Release: Bionic idea boosts lithium-ion extraction
Metal ion sieving using a bioinspired nanochannel membrane CREDIT XIN Weiwen Abstract: Lithium is an energy-critical element that is considered to be a geopolitically significant resource. However, the supply of lithium may not be enough to meet continuously increasing demand. As a result, scientists are looking for new ways to extract lithium ions. Bionic idea boosts lithium-ion extraction Beijing, China | Posted on January 1st, 2021 Ion selective membranes have already been used extensively for water treatment and ion sieving in electrodialysis technology. However, conventional membranes ex...
