“…These materials offer advantages such as robust antioxidant activity, excellent chemical resistance, and strong thermal stability. Additionally, membrane performance can be further enhanced through surface grafting of functional groups [77]. Qi Liang et al [104] also used the surface imprint polymerization method, using LiClO4 as the template ion, 2-hydroxymethyl-12-crown-4 as the complexing agent, MAA functional monomer, and EGDMA as the cross-linking agent, and modified magnetic carbon nanospheres, PMAA-Fe 3 O 4 @C, as the matrix carrier, to form an imprinted layer on the surface of PMAA-Fe 3 O 4 @C to prepare the PMAA-Fe 3 O 4 @C with a high selective adsorption capacity for Li + .…”

Ion Imprinting Technology (IIT) is an innovative technique that produces Ion-Imprinted polymers (IIPs) capable of selectively extracting ions. IIPs exhibit strong specificity, excellent stability, and high practicality. Due to their superior characteristics, the application of IIPs for lithium resource extraction has garnered significant attention. This paper discusses the following aspects based on existing conventional processes for lithium extraction and the latest research progress in lithium IIPs: (1) a detailed exposition of existing lithium extraction processes, including comparisons and summaries; (2) classification, comparison, and summarization of the latest lithium IIPs based on different material types and methods; (3) summarization of the applications of various lithium IIPs, along with a brief description of future directions in the development of lithium IIP applications. Finally, the prospects for targeted recovery of lithium resources using lithium IIPs are presented.

“…Future Li demands remain on an upward trend; however, few high-efficiency Li + detection technologies with high selectivity, sensitivity, and stability are provided. The detection of Li + is limited by its low concentration in nature and the interference of coexisting high-concentration alkali and alkaline earth metal ions (e.g., Na + and Sr 2+ ). − Several Li + detection technologies have been developed. Conventional inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is high-precision but requires complicated operation and an ultraclean environment.…”

With the rapid development of the lithium ion battery industry, emerging lithium (Li) enrichment in nature has attracted ever-growing attention due to the biotoxicity of high Li levels. To date, fast lithium ion (Li + ) detection remains urgent but is limited by the selectivity, sensitivity, and stability of conventional technologies based on passive response processes. In nature, archaeal plasma membrane ion exchangers (NCLX_Mj) exhibit Li + -gated multi/monovalent ion transport behavior, activated by different stimuli. Inspired by NCLX_Mj, we design a pHcontrolled biomimetic Li + -responsive solid-state nanochannel system for on-demand Li + detection using 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HPBO) units as Li + recognition groups. Pristine HPBO is not reactive to Li + , whereas negatively charged HPBO enables specific Li + coordination under alkaline conditions to decrease the ion exchange capacity of nanochannels. On-demand Li + detection is achieved by monitoring the decline in currents, thereby ensuring precise and stable Li + recognition (>0.1 mM) in the toxic range of Li + concentration (>1.5 mM) for human beings. This work provides a new approach to constructing Li + detection nanodevices and has potential for applications of Li-related industries and medical services.

The demand for lithium resources is growing rapidly due to the continuous development of the lithium‐ion battery, which plays an important part in the renewable energy industry. Global sources of lithium are ores and brine, of which 59% are distributed in saline brine. However, the significant lithium resources in saline brine have not been fully utilized. The electrochemical deintercalation method (EDM) for lithium extraction from saline brine is a promising technique because of its environmental friendliness, high selectivity, and cost‐effectiveness. Nevertheless, the application of EDM is greatly limited by the easy dissolution of electrode materials like LiMn2O4 and the cost of mass production. Also, there are a few existing review articles on the EDM for lithium extraction. To address this gap, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the current methods for lithium extraction from saline brine, systematically summarizes the technical status of the EDM, and pays special attention to the preparation method and modification of electrode materials. This review gives new insight into the mechanism of EDM and provides a new design strategy for the evaluation methods of EDM.
