Sponging up lithium to power smartphones
Now researchers are developing a new type of membrane that can filter lithium out of seawater providing a new way to supply the industries ever increasing demand. Based on the biological cell research on how water and ions are transferred into and out of cells that won the Nobel prize in 2003, the researchers are able to use a sponge-like crystal material with tiny holes that can capture, store and release selected metal ions, including lithium from sea and wastewater. While still in its prototype stage, these new metal-organic framework sponges could help to reduce the
environmental impact of mining for lithium while providing a better and more sustainable way of extracting lithium ions to help meet global demand for an ever-growing industry.
