Yip presented the group's latest work on direct lithium extraction (DLE) using thermally switchable solvents at the poster session of the International Water Association (IWA) Leading Edge Technologies (LET) Conference in Houston, Texas (June 1–5, 2026). The research, titled “A Novel Approach for Direct Lithium Extraction from Alkali Metal Cations in Brine Mixtures Using Thermally Switchable Solvents”, was featured in a poster pitch. Thank you to session co-chairs Drs. Menachem Elimelech and Tiezheng Tong for the invitation and for organizing an excellent session.
