Lithium is a metal in increasingly high demand due to its use in lithium-ion batteries.
However, the extraction from aqueous resources as brines and seawater, which account for …

Crown ether (CE)-based Li+ adsorbent microfibers (MFs) were successfully fabricated
through a combined use of CE diols, electrospinning, and aerosol cross-linking. The 14-to …

Among diverse chemical synthetic approaches to zinc oxide nanocrystals (ZnO NCs),
ubiquitous inorganic sol–gel methodology proved crucial for advancements in ZnO‐based …

Lithium ion selective crown ethers have been the subject of much research for a multitude of
applications. Current research is aimed at structurally rigidifying crown ethers, as …

Abstract The extraction of Li, Na, K perchlorates by the extraction system B15C5-CHCl 3-H 2
O was studied in this work. It has been shown that the use of LiClO 4 in extraction processes …

Vibrational Stark probes are incisive tools for measuring local electric fields in a wide range
of chemical environments. The interpretation of the frequency shift often gets complicated …

The synthesis and characterization of benz-1, 4-dioxane crown ethers (CEs) and some of its
homologues are described and analyzed. The effect of added C-atom within the CE ring …

We herein report 19 F NMR-based lithium ion sensing methodology using fluorinated
naphthalene compounds, which are further validated by UV–vis spectroscopy. The …

In this work, transport of lithium (Li) ions from seawater into an aqueous phase was
performed by using a liquid membrane (LM) and 12-crown-4 as a carrier. Influential …

This thesis details the synthesis, characterization, and applications of asphaltene model
compounds for use in green energy technologies. Chapter 1 introduces green energy …
