Resumen:
Li-ion batteries have become the leading technology in energy storage to enable portable electronics and electric vehicles, hence the sustainable extraction of lithium from natural sources is of great technological as well as academic importance. We have developed an electrochemical method to extract LiCl from the natural brines present in the northwest of Argentina. The method uses an electrochemical reactor composed of Li+ and Cl- reversible electrodes. In this presentation I will discuss the method highlighting its working principle and main challenges to overcome.
