A team of UConn College of Engineering (CoE) researchers, led by Burcu Beykal, assistant professor in CoE’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, have been studying methods for extracting lithium from different sources, including brines and seawater. Lithium has become an invaluable, highly sought-after resource in the fields of energy storage and sustainability, especially with the proliferation of electric vehicles and everyday electronic devices like phones and portable computers.
