The Prospect of Ion-controlled Graphene-based Membranes in the Field of Precise Extraction of Valuable Ions in Salt Lakes
Salt lakes in China contain abundant inorganic salt resources,which are important strategic resources to be developed urgently.However,it is very difficult to accurately separate each component from the complex salt lake,which limits the development and utilization of salt lake resources.Here,we review the latest research progress in ion-controlled graphene-based membrane in the field of ion sieving,and provide a new scheme for the separation of salt lake ions of different sizes based on ion-controlled graphene oxide membrane.Finally,we look forward to the potential application of ion-controlled graphene-based membrane technology in the separation and extraction of valuable ions from salt lakes.
