Electrospun Lithium Porous Nanosorbent Fibers for Enhanced Lithium Adsorption and Sustainable Applications.

ABSTRACT: Electrospun nanosorbent fibers specifically designed for efficient lithium extraction were developed, exhibiting superior physicochemical properties. These fibers were fabricated using a polyacrylonitrile/dimethylformamide matrix, with viscosity and dynamic mechanical analysis showing that optimal interactions were achieved at lower contents of layered double hydroxide. This meticulous adjustment in formulation led to the creation of lithium porous nanosorbent fibers (Li-PNFs-1). Li-PNFs-1 exhibited outstanding mechanical attributes, including a yield stress of 0.09 MPa, a tensile strength of 2.48 MPa, and an elongation at a break of 19.7%. Additionally, they demonstrated pronounced hydrophilicity and hierarchical porous architecture, which greatly favor rapid wetting kinetics and lithium
