Abstract With the increasing demand for lithium resources in the development of new energy, the advantages of the adsorption method in the exploitation of lithium resources from salt lake brine are increasingly emerging. Owing to the excellent selectivity, low cost, and environmental friendliness, aluminum-based lithium adsorption materials have become the most widely used adsorbent for lithium extraction from salt lakes. This review systematically compares the characteristics of diverse synthesis approaches and critically evaluates the correlation between synthesis methods and lithium adsorption properties. Furthermore, the research progress in performance optimization and industrial application of aluminum-based lithium adsorption materials over the past few years is reviewed from four aspects:ion doping, nanochannel engineering, industrial molding design, and repair/regeneration. On this basis, the intrinsic relationship between the structure and properties of adsorbents is further revealed. In light of the existing issues, the development direction of promoting aluminum-based lithium adsorption materials for further industrial application is put forward. This review offers a useful reference for further studies on novel aluminum-based lithium adsorption materials, optimization of preparation techniques, and the promotion of industrial applications of the adsorption method in lithium extraction from salt lake brine.
