The latter shows at least 10 000 times stronger complexation than free CEs. On this basis, a highly stable CE complex within the polymer for efficient extraction of metal ions from low concentrations, e.g. lithium in seawater, is presented.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1039/d1sm01815a} (DOI).
