Lithium Extraction from Seawater through Pulsed Electrochemical Intercalation. 'Seawater contains 5,000 times more Li [Lithium] than the combination of ore and brine-based resources. However, the chemically similar Na [Sodium] is four orders of magnitude more concentrated than Li, which poses a significant challenge in Li extraction selectivity.' (Joule journal) >

“This year’s multiple catastrophic east coast floods reinforced what we learned in the bushfires of 2019-20,” explained Mark Byrne, TEC’s Energy Market Advocate. “When all hell breaks loose, we can’t always wait for the ‘cavalry’—emergency services—to save us straight away.” 'It's not only Doomsday Preppers and recluses who are taking their energy supply into their own hands.'

Export Powerhouse: Australia’s $333 billion opportunity. 'By 2050, green exports could grow to almost triple the value of existing fossil fuel exports.' (Beyond Zero Emissions, Melbourne) >

'We convert electricity to heat, and store it for later use. We use sand as the storage medium, which leads to safe operation and a natural balance in the storage cycle.' (Polar Night Energy, Finland) >

'Harvesting energy from ubiquitous moisture is attracting growing interest for directly powering electronic devices. However, it is still challenging to fabricate high-performing moisture-electric generators (MEGs) with high and stable electric output.' (Nano Energy journal) >

Self-charging battery generates electricity from moisture in the air. 'Australian company Strategic Elements wants that energy back, and it's working with the University of New South Wales and the CSIRO to develop a flexible, self-charging battery technology that harvests electrical energy from moisture in the air to directly power devices without ever needing to plug them in.'
