Scientists just found a faster, cleaner way to extract lithium for EV batteries

Summary by Science Daily
A breakthrough lithium-extraction method could help solve one of clean energy’s dirtiest problems. Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a fast new technique that pulls lithium directly from salty underground brines using a temperature-sensitive solvent, avoiding the giant evaporation ponds that can take years and drain precious water supplies. Even better, the method works on low-quality lithium sources that current technologies st…

Researchers at Columbia University have developed a new lithium extraction technique that promises to revolutionize the production of batteries for electric vehicles. The method, which uses a temperature-sensitive solvent, can accelerate extraction and reduce the environmental impacts associated with the traditional process. New lithium extraction technique The technique, called selective solvent alternating extraction (S3E), allows lithium to b…
