Bioinspired Channel Functionalization via Covalent Grafting of Crown Ethers for Selective Ion Sieving
) with excellent long-term stability and scalability. The membranes were scaled up and integrated into an electrodialysis stack, enabling lithium extraction from simulated salt-lake brines. This strategy establishes an internal channel functionalization paradigm for polymer membranes, providing a rational route toward advanced ion separation materials.
