Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The explosive growth of the lithium-ion battery market has propelled research interest in lithium resource extraction from salt lakes. The efficient extraction of lithium ions represents a key challenge in this field. At present, many different types of technology have been employed for lithium extraction from salt lake brine, such as precipitation, adsorption, extraction, electrochemistry, and membrane separation. Compared with other available methods, membrane separation is considered a prospective alternative for Li+ extraction due to its simple operational procedure, high separation efficiency, and the absence of chemical reagents. The following topic focuses on the preparation of membranes and their application in Li+ extraction, with the aim of providing a platform to seek new membrane materials and preparation methods, promoting their application in Li+ extraction.
