Holy Grail of batteries?
Hi all, A battery where the raw materials are extracted from Sea Water? If it were April 1st I'd say it was a spoof--but this information is from December 2019, from IBM. https://www.dezeen.com/...

You can mine just about any mineral from seawater...problem is that it's rarely anywhere close to as efficient as traditional mines.
Lithium is typically mined in large salt flats because it's been concentrated into economically viable quantities.
As profdant said, you can mine gold from seawater but it costs more than an ounce of gold to get an ounce of gold.
