Scientists just found a faster, cleaner way to extract lithium for EV batteries

Demand for lithium is soaring as automakers ramp up electric vehicle production and energy companies build larger battery systems to support wind and solar power. But producing lithium remains a slow and environmentally costly process. Current extraction methods work best with high quality deposits found in only a limited number of regions, while also consuming huge amounts of land and water.
