In a new study, researchers report a sustainable way to convert lithium hardrock into three valuable compoundsβbattery-grade lithium carbonate, cementitious silica, and smelter-grade aluminaβat temperatures less than 100Β°C.
This could establish a lowcarbon alternative to hardrock refining, addressing both the surging demand for lithium and the carbon footprint that undermines the sustainability of the energy transition that lithium is meant to enable.
