| Abstract | The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the development of a novel electrochemical process to extract and convert lithium from low-concentration brine into battery-grade lithium chemicals, a key ingredient in electric vehicle and grid storage batteries. This innovation has the potential to dramatically expand the usable lithium resource base in the United States by enabling access to brines previously deemed too dilute to be economically |
