Hygroscopicity-driven spontaneous sustainable direct lithium extraction

By Hongxu Chen, Meiqi Yang, Sunxiang Zheng, Ryan Kingsbury, Aashish Khandelwal, Hang Wang, Zhiyong Jason Ren
| Nature Verified
Abstract Current lithium extraction processes demand high inputs of energy, chemicals, and freshwater because they rely on non-spontaneous separation steps. To address these limitations, we introduce a spontaneous, hygroscopicity-driven direct lithium extraction method that leverages the unique entropy-increasing deliquescent behavior of lithium chloride hydrate (LHT) to extract and enrich lithium from solid deposits such as brine mining slags.

Upscaling 3D Engineered Trees for Off-Grid Desalination

More than 70% of the population without access to safe drinking water lives in remote and off-grid areas. Inspired by natural plant transpiration, we designed and tested in this study an array of scalable three-dimensional (3D) engineered trees made of natural wood for continuous water desalination to provide affordable and clean drinking water. The trees took advantage of capillary action in the wood xylems and lifted water more than 1 foot off the ground with or without solar irradiation.
