Solution-processable polymer membranes with hydrophilic subnanometre pores for sustainable lithium extraction

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

. The polymer of intrinsic microporosity membranes surpasses the performance of most existing membrane materials. Furthermore, the membranes were scaled up and integrated into an electrodialysis stack, demonstrating excellent selectivity in simulated salt-lake brines. This work will inspire the development of selective membranes for a wide range of sustainable separation processes critical for resource recovery and a global circular economy.
