Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

Water supply where? In Saudi Arabia it could be revolutionary tech when combined with solar

Not, for example, if it’s only producing 1l/day.

But you can’t imagine it doing a lot more?

I don’t think batteries will soak up that much salt for their use. And I’d imagine they saturate over time. It’s very different than something built specifically for deslination.
