TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the advantages and challenges of the current membrane-based technologies applied to the recovery of a water lithium resource is presented in this article, where the authors highlight that the combination of membrane processes (e.g., nanofiltration, selective electrodialysis, and membrane distillation crystallization) with a conventional lithium precipitation process will lead to higher performance efficiency and lower cost.

TL;DR: In this paper, a robust polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanofibrous membrane was prepared by a simple electrospinning-sintering strategy for efficient oil/water separation.

TL;DR: In this article, a carbon nanotube (CNT) modified polyurethane sponge was fabricated as a photothermal sorbent that exhibited superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity, as well as outstanding absorption capacity for heavy oil.

TL;DR: Air, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide NBs were generated and dispersed in tap water and different plants, including lettuce, carrot, fava bean, and tomato, were used in germination and growth tests and the seeds in water-containing NBs exhibited 6-25% higher germination rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a superhydrophilic-underwater superoleophobic (SUS) membrane was constructed by a simple electrospinning/in-situ growth strategy to prepare SUS SiO2@PVA nanofibrous membrane for gravity-driven separation of oil/water mixture.
