Another attractive aspect of this technology is that lithium metal can be produced from salt solutions (e.g., In other words, energy from the sun can be “stored” in the metal, and then be used on demand by reacting the lithium in the fuel cell. Recharging the battery would be a matter of replacing the lithium metal cell.
