I’ve perfected a salt water battery
In 2008, Jay F. Whitacre founded the Aquion Energy Company, which has perfected the production of solar panel batteries which use sodium ions: thanks to the electrolysis of salt water, these batteries can store solar energy. Resistant, inflammable, non-polluting and free from heavy metals or other rare materials, no mining is necessary for the production of these batteries. These 100% environmentally-friendly batteries have been given the ‘Cradle to Cradle’ certification, which is the international mark of a product which is eco-friendly from production through to the end of their useful life.
