A new desalination process developed by engineers at MIT could treat produced water—deep water, often heavily laden with salts and minerals—from natural gas wells at relatively low cost. The research is the work of a team including MIT postdoc Prakash Narayan, mechanical engineering professor John H.

You can think of the second group of cells as a range extender, providing more energy occasionally when needed. In our dual-chemistry battery pack application, the second group of cells will have no high- or low-temperature requirements, power demand will be really low, and that lets us push the energy density characteristics pretty high.
