Lithium resources are important national strategic resources,which are widely used in many fields such as new energy vehicles,electronic products,and energy storage.China is rich in lithium resources.Among them,salt lake brine lithium resources are mainly distributed in Qinghai and Tibet.However,due to factors such as the low grade of salt lake brine itself,low extraction efficiency of lithium salt and limited production capacity,it has not been effectively developed,resulting in a serious dependence on foreign lithium products.Therefore,in order to ensure the continuous and safe supply of lithium resources in China,it is of great significance to break through the lithium extraction technology from salt lakes and explore more green,efficient and low-cost extraction technologies for the utilization of lithium resources in salt lake brines.The general situation of lithium resources in salt lakes,the characteristics of salt lake brine,and the latest research progress of efficient separation and extraction of lithium resources were systematically introduced.Finally,the research focus of lithium resources separation and extraction technology was prospected.

The recent research on modified lithium iron phosphate（LiFePO₄） materials as lithium-ion electronic cathode materials was reviewed.Although LiFePO₄ were considered to be the most promising cathode materials for lithium-ion power batteries due to their good stability，high safety and environmental friendliness，their inherent low electronic conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion coefficient deteriorated their electrochemical performance.The study on modification to improve their electrochemical performance was reviewed in this paper.The effects of four modification strategies including elemental doping，surface carbon coating，particle nanosizing and materials compositing on the electrochemical performance of LiFePO₄ were analyzed.Then，the advantages and disadvantages of these four modification strategies were discussed.The analysis showed that the four modification strategies could effectively improve the Li-ion diffusion kinetics and electronic conductivity，but the surface carbon coating and particle nanosizing would conversely reduce the tap density of the materials，resulting in low energy density.Finally，the research direction to solve the existing problems was proposed that it would be a feasible method to develop a modification strategy with coexistence of battery and capacitive properties.
