ppm) with a nominal Li/Mg selectivity >45 million. ppm) and an abundance of interfering ions (i.e., 13000 ppm of sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium ions, among others). Instead, the lithium concentration and the ratio of lithium to other multivalent ions, such as Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ , are the key factors to consider.

Univ. of Texas researchers propose lithium- or sodium-water batteries as next generation of high-capacity battery technology; applicable for EVs and grid storage

Green Car Congress

John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C. The high energy storage has stimulated a worldwide study of Li-air batteries. V was developed.
