Nowadays the world's demand for lithium extraction has been vigorously growing, especially driven by an increased lithium use in new consumer electronic battery technologies and electric cars. Conventional methods for industrial lithium production from two major sources of underground brine deposits and mineral ore deposits are straightforward, but time-consuming from several months to a few years to complete. Therefore, efficient and low-energy-consuming lithium extraction is highly desirable. Here, we develop an attractive electrochemical met...
