“…The efficiency of these processes could be enhanced by combining them with electro‐membranes since this technology allows for the extraction of lithium in higher grades. [ 63 ] From spodumene ores, Li is recovered chemically or through a combination of chemical and pyro‐metallurgical processes. Two different processes, namely, roasting and calcination or chlorination and leaching (either in acidic or alkaline aqueous solutions) are reported to recover high purity Li compounds from ores.…”

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are one of the most promising energy storage technologies that would overcome the limitations of current Li‐ion batteries, based on their low density (0.534 g cm−3), low reduction potential (−3.04 V vs Standard Hydrogen Electrode) as well as their high theoretical capacities (3860 mAh g−1 and 2061 mAh cm−3). The overall cell mass and volume would be reduced while both gravimetric and volumetric energy densities would be greatly improved. Their electrochemical performance, however, is hampered by the low efficiency at high current densities and continuous degradation, which are related, among other factors, to the properties of the lithium metal anode (LMA). Hence, the production and processing of LMAs is crucial to obtain the desired properties that would enable LMBs. Here, the conventional method used for the production of LMAs, which is the combination of extraction, electrowinning, extrusion, and rolling processes, is reviewed. Then, the advances in the different alternative methods that can be used to produce and improve the properties of LMAs are described, which are divided into vapor phase, liquid phase, and electrodeposition. Within this last method, the anode‐less concept, for which different approaches to the development of advanced current collectors are illustrated, is included.

“…On the other hand, the driving force is the factor that determines the speed of the process for example the previous publication [16] show that ultrasonic as driving force make separation more effective compared to the similar system [18] that does not use ultrasonic as driving force. However, challenges such as membrane stability, fouling, and economic feasibility of scaling up still need to be addressed for the widespread adoption of ILMs in lithium extraction [19] . Polysulfone membranes are versatile materials with remarkable properties, including mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability [20] .…”
