Potentially game-changing.
Let's hope scale-up of this method proceeds quickly. The world needs massive amounts of battery storage to de-carbonize our industry, transport etc yesterday. Time is running out.
And being able to tap into more sources of lithium doesn't hurt either.

The waste level is the real breakthrough here. A cheap reagent (ammonium fluoride) for something so valuable (battery manufacturing at home) in such a timely manner means this is going to happen at scale.

Ammonium fluoride looks pretty nasty (and I know enough chemistry to not be afraid on chemical names and I even can write the formula without looking NH3F).

Is Lithium so expensive? I'm not following the market, but I guess anyone with a big salt lake and some processing can make it. It's just cheaper to do "abroad". [Hi from Argentina!]
