Nuclear energy is considered as the ultimate solution for future energy needs. High-purity
lithium isotopes (6 Li and 7 Li) serve as the foundation raw materials for nuclear reactions …

Heavy metal pollution represents an urgent worldwide problem due to the increasing
number of its sources; it derives both from industrial, eg, mining, metallurgical, incineration …

PVDF separator is more competitive for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its
physicochemical and electrochemical stability. However, improvement of the ionic …

Crown ethers containing polymer membranes are considered as one of the most promising
candidates for selective separation of Li+. Herein, a novel dibenzo-14-crown-4 ether-based …

Photocatalytic hydrogen production has been described as a promising way to obtain green
hydrogen energy. Effective proton reduction sites were added to the photocatalyst's surface …

The ability to generate materials with an enriched isotopic abundance, that is one that differs
from natural abundance, is critical in terms of technology. Isotopes are used in a wide range …

Considerable amounts of lithium and magnesium are present in the sea. When properly
harnessed, they could complement the existing extraction technologies and serve as a …

Polysulfone (PSf) membrane is widely employed in blood purification fields, but the blood
compatibility of PSf membrane is not adequate. To improve the hemocompatibility of PSf …

Crown ether is used widely in lithium isotope separation. Here a new system for the
electromigration separation of lithium isotopes was established. By comparing the …

Even though membranes can lead to more environmentally sustainable separation
processes, membrane casting typically involves toxic organic solvents. Recently, there has …
