New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater
(www.sciencedaily.com)
What is the catch?
Low capacity is my guess.
Dunno if the article is the same I have read a few days ago but the, mentioned "everything" except the comparable capacity to sodium or lithium batteries.
And I can't imagine that the capacity for salty water with tofu remnants is much higher than a sodium battery which is atm serialized for mass production runs (isnt it even available in some capacity as a commercial product?)
Man this title reminded me of an old animation involving iPhone and some Android phone, lemme go find...
The part about transforming into a jet and flying you to an island reminded me of the title.
