Wang was once a big tech company but I hear there are a lot of Wangs.

[crusty old prospector]

I never trust a scientist named Wang.

..: for large-scale energy storage required for the electrical grid

The electrical grid needs dependable energy sources, not “storage”.

[skyman]

Been hearing about supposed better, safer batteries for years, but they never seem to happen.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

As the push for renewable energy intensifies

There are, as far as I can see, two kinds of 'pushing' happening. One is the government push (mandates, subsidies, etc). The other push is when the EV runs out of 'E' and needs to be pushed off the road. Come to think of it, many car rental companies are pushing to get rid of the EVs they foolishly purchased. School districts that foolishly bought EV busses have pushed them aside.

And so it goes.

<...seawater as an electrolyte...>

Might make for self-extinguishing battery fires - if there is enough electrolyte.

Endorsed by fire departments everywhere.

"could"

There's that hedge word again. Lots of articles about things that COULD happen. Still waiting for them TO happen.

[Fai Mao]

Sounds like the “Infinite Improbability Drive” that was powered by a wire in a cup of coffee

[Openurmind]

Salt water batteries are great for deep cycle purposes. But they need to be five times bigger to perform as well as other batteries. For a smaller solar system it would take one the size of a refrigerator to be any good. But the challenge to make them smaller and/or perform better has indeed been the anode cathode material combination. I have played with these quite a bit and tried a lot of metal combinations but just raw metals and/or carbon are still quite limited.

The text, "... sometimes enduring up to 380,000 charging cycles," is inconsistent with the title, "Next-gen seawater batteries stand 380,000 charging cycles".

[bigbob]

All the more reason Canada needs to be a state

[Deaf Smith]

Does it need to be sea water, or could it just be brine?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

"...making it capable of storing diverse ions"

That should make these batteries a real darling to the left. They LOVE diversity. Will we get Ions of Color to work for us?

[DannyTN]

I saw a massive deposit of seawater in Florida.

[Revel]

What a wonderful way to keep the sea water from rising. Suck it all up and put it in batteries. The climate alarmists will be horrified by the ramifications.

[xzins]

Good idea, 20 years away from market maybe???

[Maelstrom]

Now they just have to keep water from freezing.
