    Abstract:
    Extraction of lithium ions from salt-lake brines is very important to produce lithium compounds. Herein, we report a new approach to construct polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) threaded HKUST-1 metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes through an in situ confinement conversion process. The resulting membrane PSS@HKUST-1-6.7, with unique anchored three-dimensional sulfonate networks, shows a very high Li+ conductivity of 5.53×10-4  S cm-1 at 25 °C, 1.89×10-3  S cm-1 at 70 °C, and Li+ flux of 6.75 mol m-2  h-1 , which are five orders higher than that of the pristine HKUST-1 membrane. Attributed to the different size sieving effects and the affinity differences of the Li+ , Na+ , K+ , and Mg2+ ions to the sulfonate groups, the PSS@HKUST-1-6.7 membrane exhibits ideal selectivities of 78, 99, and 10296 for Li+ /Na+ , Li+ /K+ , Li+ /Mg2+ and real binary ion selectivities of 35, 67, and 1815, respectively, the highest ever reported among ionic conductors and Li+ extraction membranes.
