The industrial need for lithium metal is foreseen to be stepping up in the near future. Herein, we have successfully fabricated microwave-assisted, acid-functionalized carbon nanofibers (ACNFs) decorated with manganese-doped titanium nanotubes (TNT-Mnx), a novel nanocomposite for Li+ adsorption. Nanocomposites (ACNF-TNT-Mn0.5, ACNF-TNT-Mn1, and ACNF-TNT-Mn1.5) were prepared by oxidizing acidic treatment, hydrothermal technique, and conventional Murray approach. The different Li+ adsorption parameters were identified by batch adsorption tests. The adsorbed Li+ ions from nanocomposites were easily recovered. Besides, the nanocomposites show selective Li+ adsorption and stability over several adsorption tests. By considering these efficient properties, the fabricated nanocomposites can be applicable on a large scale as a potential adsorbent for Li+ recovery. |
