Design principles of ion selective nanostructured membranes for the extraction of lithium ions

Lithium is in increasing demand for energy storage and is abundant in seawater, but its extraction is challenging due to coexistence with similar ions. Here the authors review recent advances in lithium separation strategies, focusing on the development of nanochannel and nanopore based membranes.
