Enhancing Membrane Materials for Efficient Li Recycling and Recovery.

Rapid uptake of lithium-centric technology, e.g., electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage, is increasing the demand for efficient technologies for lithium extraction from aqueous sources.

Material Engineering Strategies for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Catalysts.

Water electrolysis, a key enabler of hydrogen energy production, presents significant potential as a strategy for achieving net-zero emissions. However, the widespread deployment of water electrolysis is currently limited by the high-cost and scarce noble metal electrocatalysts in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Given this challenge, design and synthesis of cost-effective and high-performance alternative catalysts have become a research focus, which necessitates insightful understandings of HER fundamentals and material engineering strategies.
