Inherited Nitrogen Distribution Control in Covalent Organic Framework Cathodes for Efficient Electrochemical Lithium Recovery via Capacitive Deionization (Adv. Sci. 27/2025)

Abstract

Covalent Organic Framework Cathodes

In article number 2417140, Dinesh Shetty and co-workers present a rational design of hetero-atom distribution within 2D-COF cathodes for selective electrochemical lithium extraction through capacitive deionization. The COF's high surface area and charge density facilitate effective lithium-ion capture, offering a scalable and sustainable approach for lithium recovery from complex brine solutions.
