Lithium extraction by extractant confined in Pickering emulsion. [PDF]
Nat CommunThe global energy transformation towards electrification and decarbonization urgently requires a sustainable lithium supply. However, current solvent extraction technology suffers from extractant dissolution and low efficiency. Herein, we develop an oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsion with high stability using amphipathic SiO2 nanoparticles to ...
