Although lithium can be found in hard mineral ores, it's more often extracted from very salty (aka briny) groundwater. The latter task could soon be much quicker and eco-friendlier, thanks to a new ...

An innovative lithium extraction technique has been created by Princeton University researchers. Lithium is an essential component of electric car batteries and energy storage devices. Due to the ...

Researchers have developed a new approach that slashes the land and time needed to extract lithium from brine, which could dramatically expand access to the critical mineral. A vital component of the ...
