This advanced sorbent meets the growing lithium demand driven by EVs and energy storage, bypassing the limitations of traditional extraction methods. A nanoscale coating on a lithium manganese oxide sorbent enhances recyclability up to 50%. This stands to enable scalable, direct lithium extraction from formation waters and sedimentary brines, opening up new lithium sources in previously nonviable regions, effectively expanding lithium supply options for the battery manufacturing market.
