Abstract The demand for lithium resources is growing rapidly due to the continuous development of lithium‐ion battery, which plays an important part in renewable energy industry. Global sources are ores and brine, 59% distributed saline brine. However, significant brine have not been fully utilized. electrochemical deintercalation method (EDM) extraction from a promising technique because its environmental friendliness, high selectivity, cost‐effectiveness. Nevertheless, application EDM greatly limited by easy dissolution electrode materials like LiMn 2 O 4 cost mass production. Also, there few existing review articles on extraction. To address this gap, provides comprehensive overview current methods systematically summarizes technical status EDM, pays special attention preparation modification materials. This gives new insight into mechanism design strategy evaluation EDM.

Abstract As countries worldwide race toward a green transition, the demand for electric vehicles is surging, and with it comes growing need batteries. However, push increased domestic mining to secure these materials raises significant concerns about environmental sustainability. Even stringent regulations, impact of can be profound, posing risks such as biodiversity loss, water pollution, broader ecological damage. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions could arise whose economic interests are threatened by initiatives may react adversely. Local communities might also resist projects due over degradation, health risks, disruptions their livelihoods. Given critical importance metals in this challenge must approached same urgency global coordination pandemic response. Just world mobilized unprecedented resources tackle COVID‐19, similarly robust approach necessary ensure availability sustainable future. This paper suggests potential pathways academic, technological, societal advancements within framework circular economy lithium, aiming supply essential resource.

The challenge of efficiently extracting Li+ from brines with high Na+ or Mg2+ concentrations has led to extensive research on developing highly selective separation membranes for electrodialysis. Various studies have demonstrated that nanofiltration adsorbents modified crown ethers (CEs) such as 2-OH-12-crown-4-ether (12CE), 2-OH-18-crown-6-ether (18CE), and 2-OH-15-crown-5-ether (15CE) show selectivity in brines. This study aims develop high-performance cation exchange (CEMs) using CEs enhance compare the performance various CE-modified novel CEM (CR671) was 12CE, 18CE, 15CE identify optimal CE efficient recovery during brine modification process included polydopamine (PDA) treatment deposition polyethyleneimine (PEI) complexes different via hydrogen bonding. Interfacial polymerization 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride-crosslinked PEI used create specific channels transport within (12CE/CR671, 15CE/CR671, 18CE/CR671). successful application coatings were verified through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta-potential measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Bench-scale electrodialysis tests showed significant improvements permselectivity flux all three membranes. In concentrations, 15CE/CR671 membrane more compared 12CE/CR671 (3.3-fold 1.7-fold) 18CE/CR671 (2.4-fold 2.6-fold) at current densities 2.3 mA/cm2 2.2 mA/cm2, respectively. At higher 14.7 Mg2+-rich 15.9 Na+-rich brine, greater flux, approximately 2.1-fold 2.3-fold, 3.2-fold 3.4-fold underscores superior 15CE-modified low energy demand offers valuable insights advancing processes challenging environments.
