A Paradox over Electric Vehicles, Mining of Lithium for Car Batteries

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Lithium, a silver-white alkali metal, with significantly high energy density, has been exploited for making rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). They have become one of the main energy storage solutions in modern electric cars (EVs). Cobalt, nickel,

Lithium in felsic magmas: a volcanological perspective

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Volcanic eruptions are unpredictable phenomena that pose a challenge to crisis management, owing to the fact that contrasted eruptive styles (explosive versus effusive) exhibited at the surface depend on unobservable deep processes occurring in the ...

Physicochemical Parameters Limiting Growth of Debaryomyces hansenii in Solutions of Hygroscopic Compounds and Their Effects on the Habitability of Martian Brines

open access: yesLife, 2021
The availability of liquid water is a prerequisite for all lifeforms on Earth. In hyperarid subzero environments like the Dry Valleys in Antarctica or the near-subsurface of Mars liquid water might be provided temporarily by hygroscopic substances that ...

Adsorption performance and mechanism of Li+ from brines using lithium/aluminum layered double hydroxides-SiO2 bauxite composite adsorbents

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2023
A combined method of solid-phase alkali activation and surface precipitation was used to prepare the lithium/aluminum layered double hydroxides-SiO2 loaded bauxite (LDH-Si-BX) and applied to adsorb Li+ in brines.

Complex Brines and Their Implications for Habitability

open access: yesLife, 2021
There is evidence that life on Earth originated in cold saline waters around scorching hydrothermal vents, and that similar conditions might exist or have existed on Mars, Europa, Ganymede, Enceladus, and other worlds. Could potentially habitable complex
