| Abstract Scope |
Advancing environmentally benign and energy efficient separation of critical metals is crucial for accelerating the energy transition. As an alternative to conventional use of solvents for separating critical metals, functional siliceous materials are proposed for the selective separation of critical metals including silver and rare earth elements (e.g., lanthanum, neodymium) using an electro-swing approach. The design approach underlying the choice of a linker to be tethered to a siliceous interface and the active functional group to be tethered to the linker for the selective capture of metals is discussed. The efficacy of the proposed electrochemical separation approach is contrasted with conventional pH swing based adsorption and desorption pathways for the separation of energy critical metals. |
