Review of Analytical Lithium Detection and Quantification Methods Along the Lithium Value Chain

Applied Research, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2025.
This article reviews a selection of suitable state‐of‐the‐art analytical methods for different scales of spatial resolution and detection of lithium for a variety of lithium‐bearing materials along the lithium value chain. The various materials differ greatly in terms of their lithium content by more than 5 orders of magnitude and also vary in their ...

Understanding the influence of Malta litho‐structural features on the dynamics of nitrate transport in the vadose zone

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Coastal aquifers in the Mediterranean are increasingly stressed by climate change, intensive agriculture, and rising water demand. In Malta island, where groundwater is a key resource, nitrate contamination remains a persistent issue despite regulatory efforts and the designation of the islands as a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.

Tritium Breeding Ceramics for Nuclear Fusion

Tritium and deuterium are widely considered as fuel for fusion power plants. While deuterium is quite abundant in nature, tritium needs to be “bred” from lithium in a neutron reaction. Hence, for the breeding blanket development of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and the DEMOnstration power plant (DEMO), the development of ...

Analysis of a segmentation approach to breeder blanket design and the utilisation of FLiBe as a novel neutron reflector

Nuclear Fusion
Tritium production in a fusion reactor is essential for a deuterium-tritium burning plasma source, and designing a lithium-containing breeder blanket is crucial for a closed fuel cycle in an electricity-to-grid power plant.
