Recent advances in nanomaterial development for lithium ion-sieving technologies

2D conjugated microporous polyacetylenes synthesized via halogen-bond-assisted radical solid-phase polymerization for high-performance metal-ion absorbents

“…The thermogravimetric analysis of the three CMPs showed that their 50% weight loss decomposition temperatures (T d(50%) ) were 363-667 °C (Supplementary Figs. [31][32][33], demonstrating their high thermal stability. In addition, the FTIR study also showed that the linear polymers obtained from 2•6 to 2•7 contained polyacetylene backbones (Supplementary Figs.…”

“…We studied the adsorption of lithium ion (Li + ) and boronium ion (B 3+ ). Because of its high value, the collection of Li + from seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) brines is an urgent need in desalination and can be a promising application 33 . Boron is a pollutant in the environment, potentially affecting human health and causing photosynthesis inhibition in plants [34][35][36] .…”

Lithium-selective hybrid capacitive deionization system with a Ag-coated carbon electrode and stop-flow operation

“…10,11 Although these adsorbents exhibit good Li + selectivity, they have two inevitable limitations. First, acid treatment is required for the Li + desorption step; 10,11 hence, a significant amount of waste acid treatment burden is involved. Second, the chemical (i.e., acid) stability of the adsorbent remains a major issue.…”

Ag nanoparticles supported on a magnetic NiFe2O4/MIL-101(Fe) metal–organic framework nanocomposite for the room temperature rapid catalytic reduction of nitrophenols and nitroanilines

“…[1][2][3] Uncontrolled entry of industrial and agricultural wastewater, which contains large amounts of hazardous chemical compounds such as nitrophenols, has endangered the health of humans and aquatic animals. [4][5][6] These compounds, which are used in the chemical industry to produce a variety of dyes, pesticides, insecticides, fungicides and herbicides, and in the military industry to produce explosives, are toxic and carcinogenic and have high water solubility. [7][8][9][10] These compounds are stable and are not degraded by biological agents.…”
