Lithium-ion battery recycling through an integrated electro-membrane crystallization technology Open
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling is crucial for energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic viability, as the finite lifespan of LIBs results in a significant annual accumulation of spent units. However, effectively and …

Enabling an ultraefficient lithium-selective construction through electric field–assisted ion control Open
Membranes with precise ion transport behaviors are regarded as an alternative for lithium (Li) extraction from water streams. Current membranes demonstrate limited viability due to the lack of efficient Li + -selective architectures. We pr…

Nano-confined controllable crystallization in supramolecular polymeric membranes for ultra-selective desalination Open
Innovations in self-assembly and aggregate engineering have led to membranes that better balance water permeability with salt rejection, overcoming traditional trade-offs. Here we demonstrate a strategy that uses multivalent H-bond interac…

Interfacial supramolecular interactions regulated oligomer networking into robust sub-nanochannels for efficient osmotic energy conversion Open
We engineer a 5-nm sulfonated membrane via oligomer assembly, achieving fast and selective ion transport. This exceptional performance stems from sub-Debye-length nanoconfinement (0.6 nm), charge-directed transport, and ultrashort pathways…
