Researchers at the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) have discovered that a nano-galvanic aluminum-based powder of their design splits water on contact, producing hydrogen and oxygen. The team demonstrated a small radio-controlled tank powered by the powder/water reaction. If we can recharge those batteries, they can stay out longer.

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.

In this article, we will document some important facts that debunk this narrative with facts and sources. For example - the process of obtaining lithium from brines can be more sustainable by condensing evaporated water so it can later be returned to the ground. Mining any mineral from earth has an impact on the environment.

However, poor mobility of Mg 2+ (and other multivalent cations) prevents the development of a broad spectrum of cathode materials, as are available to lithium- and sodium-ion battery technologies. —Gerbrand Ceder, a Berkeley Lab Senior Faculty Scientist.

It is composed of food-grade algae powder added to a graphene suspension composed of graphite, sodium cholate, and deionized water, then dried to form a nanocomposite sheet. When soaked in a yet another food-grade component —a calcium chloride water bath—the sheet swells and creates a conductive hydrogel.

This episode is brought to you by IEEE Xplore , the digital library with over 6 million technical documents and free search. It’s basically the reason they say you’re 66 percent water or whatever. This is like sieve water. It’s got sodium, potassium, calcium, etc., It doesn’t really like sodium so much.
