Lithios, a startup founded by Mo Alkhadra, is revolutionizing lithium extraction by using technology inspired by lithium-ion batteries. Instead of traditional mining methods, Lithios captures lithium from underground briny water, minimizing costs and environmental impact. Recently, the company raised $10 million in seed funding to scale its operations and develop a pilot system for field testing. Their method, which involves electrified intercalation compounds, allows for efficient lithium recovery while recycling water. With growing demand for sustainable lithium sources, Lithios aims to meet the needs of the electric vehicle industry.
