Rice researchers have developed a process to use PFAS to extract lithium from high-salinity brine pools, described in a study recently published in Nature Water.
The rise of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage systems has led to a growing number of retired batteries, posing a significant challenge for sustainable energy development.
