Summary
Researchers from Rutgers University, the University of Illinois Chicago, and Argonne National Laboratory discovered that boron nitride nanotube membranes can transport lithium ions up to 31 times faster than standard diffusion rates predict. This breakthrough has potential applications in lithium recovery from spent batteries and blue energy generation, as the membranes selectively move lithium ions far faster than other charged particles.
