The hot brine that comes up from the subsurface as part of geothermal power production at the Salton Sea in California is a rich stew of minerals, including iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and lithium. We’ll look at how quickly might you expect the resource to be regenerated—is it centuries? Credit: Jenny Nuss/Berkeley Lab).

A team from the University of Technology, Sydney (Australia) and Gyeongsang National University (S. Korea) have developed SnO2 @graphene nanocomposites for use as anodes in sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries. The material also demonstrated a good high rate capability for reversible sodium storage. —Su et al.
