Teen scientist uses corn stalks and wheat straw to extract lithium from water
Student John Liu has developed an innovative method to recover lithium using agricultural byproducts such as corn stalks and wheat straw. His technique employs plant-based scaffolds to concentrate lithium from dilute brines, offering a sustainable alternative for sourcing battery materials. The project highlights how agricultural waste can be repurposed to address critical challenges in environmental engineering. Liu's work earned him recognition at both state and international science fairs.
