Ionophores are a chemical species that reversibly bind ions. Lithium ionophores are a lipophilic variant of these species, which means that they may be combined with lipids and are fat-soluble. What is Lithium? Lithium is a metallic element (Li) with 2 naturally occurring forms of isotopes, namely lithium-6 and lithium-7. Lithium has become a popular battery option due to its...

Ion-Selective Electrodes (ISE): An Introduction Ion-selective electrodes have a wide variety of industrial and research uses. They offer a comprehensive method in testing the level of activity of ions contained within aqueous solutions. This is a necessary process to determine the electrical potential (conductivity) of a substance or solution, through potentiometry. What Are Ion-selective Electrodes? Ion-selective electrodes are also known...
