High Ion-Selectivity of Garnet Solid Electrolyte Enabling Separation of Metallic Lithium

Ionic selectivity is of significant importance in both fundamental science and practical applications.For instance,an ion-selective material allows the passage of a particular kind of ions while blocking the others,which could be used for purification of materials.Herein,the Li-ion-selectivity of a garnet-type solid electrolyte is discussed by comparing the difference of activation energy between different ions migrating in solids.The high ion-selectivity is confirmed by harvesting high-purity metallic lithium(99.98 wt%)from low-lithium-purity sources(80 wt%)at a moderate temperature(190 ℃).This gives it huge potential in separating lithium with impurities especially alkali and alkali-earth elements.The cost of metallic lithium production is only 25%of the international lithium price.The proposed electrochemical metallic lithium separating method is advantageous compared with the traditional process in terms of efficiency,safety,and cost.
