A new way to extract lithium chloride from liquid and solid solutions

Lithium chloride (LiCl) is a critical lithium containing material involved in producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide (LiOH). LiOH is required as a precursor material for many of the high-performance Li+-ion battery cathode chemistries in use today for portable electronic applications from laptops to electric vehicles. However, current battery production...

Silver carriers stabilized by ionic liquids under presence of hydrogen gas

Problem statement Silver ions in facilitated transport membranes are often unstable under desirable operating conditions for facilitated transport of olefins. Upon exposure to hydrogen gas, the silver ions irreversibly reduce to elemental silver and become immobilized within the membrane, limiting the ability of these membranes to be effective for long-term...
