Electrochemical Reactor Extracts 97.5% of Lithium From Geothermal Sources

Geothermal pools, like the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park seen here, contain ample amounts of lithiumDepositphotosLithium-ion batteries power everything from vapes to electric cars, but they rely on hard-to-extract lithium. A new electrochemical reactor from Rice University promises to make lithium harvesting safer and more efficient.Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market due to...
