Could a salt-air power pack save us money?

South Korean researchers have designed a power pack that reliably provides energy using salt and air, both abundant or free ingredients that could lower the cost of batteries. Part of the sodium/air breakthrough is unlocking the ability to use the atmosphere around us instead of pure oxygen.

What is a saltwater battery?

A saltwater battery is a wet-cell battery that uses a reaction with salt water, air, and a magnesium anode to produce electricity. Just like any other battery, it requires chemical energy to produce electrical energy, and that chemical energy needs to be replenished to keep the battery running.

Will KAIST produce sodium-ion batteries?

CATL is also planning to produce sodium-ion cells. In February, we also received the news that the JAC brand Yiwei recently exported its first batch of electric vehicles with sodium-ion batteries. Meanwhile, KAIST is not only researching sodium-ion batteries.

Is South Korea a good place to buy solar equipment?

It is also worth noting that South Korea boasts of several solar equipment producers and distributors. In addition to that, it has a healthy network of ports and logistical infrastructure. Therefore, you can easily import any equipment that may not be available locally.

Can a sodium-air battery reversibly use sodium and air?

Now, researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea have developed a high-energy, high-efficiency all-solid-state sodium-air battery that can reversibly utilize sodium and air without requiring special equipment.
