Until now, brine desalination has been prohibitively expensive: thermal-based evaporation, the most common technology today, is highly energy-intensive.

Key Points: 
  • Until now, brine desalination has been prohibitively expensive: thermal-based evaporation, the most common technology today, is highly energy-intensive.
  • "The imperative is most pressing with water: every continent experienced drought last year, and many of the Earth's largest aquifers have tipped toward depletion.
  • DCVC enthusiastically backs Aquafortus because it is the first company to meet the dire environmental need to desalinate the toughest brines effectively and affordably."
  • Aquafortus targets industries that produce significant volumes of hypersaline water: mining, oil and gas production, chemical manufacturing, and power generation.

    “Initial results from our black mass trial are extremely encouraging,” said Trent Mell, CEO of Electra.
  • We have established relations with black mass producers in North America and abroad to support our continued efforts.”
    Black mass is the industry term used to describe the material remaining once expired lithium-ion batteries are shredded and all casings removed.
  • Black mass contains high-value elements, including nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, lithium, and graphite, that once recovered, can be recycled to produce new lithium-ion batteries.
  • Electra launched its black mass demonstration plant at the end of December 2022, and has processed material in a batch mode, successfully extracting nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, lithium, and graphite.

Developing highly stable and efficient perovskites based on a rich mixture of bromine and iodine is considered critical for the creation of tandem solar cells.

Key Points: 
  • Developing highly stable and efficient perovskites based on a rich mixture of bromine and iodine is considered critical for the creation of tandem solar cells.
  • Various strategies have been tried to mitigate those issues, but the stability of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells is still considered inadequate.
  • The NREL-led group used that same architecture and moved further away from the conventional method of making a perovskite.
  • The researchers also tried argon and air as the drying gas with similar results, indicating that the gas-quench method is a general way for improving the performance of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells.
