Chong Liu, assistant professor of molecular engineering at the University of Chicago, leads a team or researchers who are developing a new type of electrode that, using a process called electrochemical intercalation, can extract valuable elements from seawater. This method could present one of the most sustainable methods for extracting lithium anywhere, the researchers say. (Photo by John Zich)
