My research develops green membrane technologies to extract and recycle lithium sustainably. By selectively filtering lithium ions from complex mixtures without heavy chemical or energy inputs, these membranes offer an alternative to current waste-intensive methods. The goal is to make the lithium supply chain as clean and sustainable as the renewable future it supports.

This research uses atomic-scale computer simulations to design safer, more efficient battery electrolytes. By modelling ion movement like a “river” inside a battery, the project identifies top-performing materials before laboratory testing. The goal is to create faster-charging, higher-capacity, non-toxic batteries that support global renewable-energy transitions and a net-zero future.
