To put the amount of lithium in seawater in perspective:
Just 2% of that would be enough to create storage capable of holding a year's worth of the world's electricity consumption.
- mac01021 5y ago2% of what? All the lithium in the world's oceans?
- inglor_cz 5y ago2 % of 0.2 ppm of the entire ocean is helluva lot of stuff. On the order of a cubic kilometer in volume.
- jokoon 5y agoI wonder, what's the cost of lithium in battery making? I've seen a video of how smartphone batteries are made, it's pretty advanced...
- Tade0 5y agoThere's around 160-200g of lithium in 1 kWh of batteries, meanwhile lithium costs ~$13.50/kg, so in 1 kWh there's around $2.70 worth of lithium.
