    A Comprehensive Review on the Extraction and Recovery of Lithium from Primary and Secondary Sources: Advances Toward Battery-Grade Materials
    (Wiley, 2025-10-20) Top, Soner; Kursunoglu, Sait; Altiner, Mahmut
    Lithium-ion battery (LIB) technologies have become indispensable to modern energy systems, driving global demand for high-purity lithium compounds. This review focuses on lithium recovery and purification strategies for battery-grade lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH), addressing both primary sources (brines and minerals) and secondary sources (waste materials). Industrially established processes, such as evaporation-based brine treatment and conventional metallurgical methods, are discussed alongside emerging techniques, including membrane separation, solvent extraction, and CO2-assisted precipitation. Particular attention is given to lithium precipitation mechanisms, the behaviour of co-existing ions during extraction, and the specific quality requirements for cathode material synthesis. By evaluating process scalability, environmental impact, and product purity, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of current practices and future directions. Additionally, it highlights the growing importance of lithium in the context of accelerating electric vehicle (EV) adoption, underscoring the bright and expanding future of the lithium industry.

    Enhancing Diagnostic Quality in Panoramic Radiography: A Comparative Evaluation of GAN Models for Image Restoration
    (Wiley, 2025-09-04) Kolukisa, Burak; Celebi, Fatma; Ersu, Nihal; Yucel, Kemal Selcuk; Canger, Emin Murat; Murat Canger, Emin
    Panoramic imaging is a widely utilized technique to capture a comprehensive view of the maxillary and mandibular dental arches and supporting facial structures. This study evaluates the potential of the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) models-Pix2Pix, CycleGAN, and RegGAN-in enhancing diagnostic quality by addressing combinations of common image distortions. A panoramic radiograph data set was processed to simulate four types of distortions: (i) blurriness, (ii) noise, (iii) combined blurriness and noise, and (iv) anterior-region-specific blurriness. Three GAN models were trained and analyzed using quantitative metrics such as the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the structural similarity index measure (SSIM). In addition, two oral and maxillofacial radiologists conducted qualitative reviews to assess the diagnostic reliability of the generated images. Pix2Pix consistently outperformed CycleGAN and RegGAN, achieving the highest PSNR and SSIM values across all types of distortions. Expert evaluations also favored Pix2Pix, highlighting its ability to restore image accuracy and enhance clinical utility. CycleGAN showed moderate improvements in noise-affected images but struggled with combined distortions, while RegGAN yielded negligible enhancements. These findings underscore its potential for clinical application in refining radiographic imaging. Future research should focus on combining GAN techniques and utilizing larger datasets to develop universally robust image enhancement models.
