Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
To harness the abundant lithium (Li)-containing aqueous resources and meet the growing demand for Li, membrane-based processes for selective Li recovery have garnered extensive attention. The incorporation of sulfonate groups into membranes is a crucial strategy for fine-tuning ion selectivity, which has been widely used in nanofiltration and electrodialysis for Li separation; however, its potential in the membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) process for Li recovery remains largely unexplored. This study bridges this research gap by integrating activated carbon (AC) electrodes of capacitive deionization (CDI) with sulfonate poly ether ketone (SPEK) membranes, featuring varying degrees of sulfonation (SPEK-20, SPEK-40, and SPEK-60), and evaluating their Li recovery performance using Li/M (M representing competing cations such as Na, K, Mg, Ca) binary solutions. The synthesized membrane electrodes underwent thorough characterization, confirming the successful formation of sulfonate groups in the SPEK membrane, revealing the SPEK layer with a cross-section thickness below 10 µm, and identifying the hydrophilicity of the AC/SPEK electrode surface. The MCDI results unveiled the significant impact of incorporating SPEK membranes on Li recovery performance in monovalent-cation competing feeds compared to bare AC electrodes, boosting the Li removal rate and Li selectivity in Li/K feed by over 210 % and 120 %, respectively. Meanwhile, SPEK membranes demonstrate a preferable affinity for capturing and releasing divalent ions, with the variations in sulfonation degree exerting a greater influence on cases involving divalent cations.
