I'm interested in it too. I had hopes for saltwater batteries years ago but they simply wouldn't hold enough charge for today's applications (i.e. powering an EV or as home solar battery storage).

I have six LifePo4 lithium batteries for my home solar battery storage. Each one holds 5kWh of charge and each one is a little larger than an old desktop computer from the mid 1980's (though much heavier). A saltwater battery (or array of batteries) holding as much charge as just one of these would be about the size of my refrigerator.

If they've come up with a way to increase the storage capacity of saltwater batteries to be at least somewhat comparable to lithium batteries, then I tip my hat to them.

But if they think it'll shut up the climate alarmist crowd they're crazy. The climate lobbyists are comprised of two kinds of people: the people who believe it as a religion and the people who are making money off of pushing the phony religion. No breakthrough is going to change that. It's not a scientific battle it's a spiritual battle.

To: Tell It Right

I think here they are extracting the source materials from sea water.

Then again, “everything” is dissolved in sea water, you only need to spend less money extracting it rather than having African children dig it out of the ground in cess-filled poison holes.
