Abstract
The presently disclosed concepts relate to improved techniques for alkali metal extraction (and in particular lithium), using a solid electrolyte membrane. By using a solid electrolyte embedded in a matrix, alkali metal (such as lithium) can be more effectively separated from feed solutions. Additionally, energy used to initially extract lithium from a feed solution may be stored as electrochemical energy, which in turn, may be discharged when lithium is depleted from the electrode. This discharged energy may therefore be reclaimed and reused to extract additional lithium.
