This study investigates the application of capacitive deionization (CDI), an emerging electrochemical separation technology, for the selective recovery of lithium from RO brine solutions, emphasizing its low energy consumption and cost-effective operation. A lithium manganese oxide (LiMn₂O₄, LMO) sorbent was synthesized via a high-temperature solid-phase method and integrated as the cathodic material in a CDI cell operated at 1.1 V.

Under optimized operating conditions, the system achieved a lithium electrosorption capacity of 16.14 mg g⁻¹ , with minimal sodium uptake (0.02 %), demonstrating remarkable ion selectivity of lithium ions.
