Method and apparatus for extracting energy and metal from seawater electrodes

This describes an electrochemical cell designed to work with Group I metals like lithium or sodium. It features a solid barrier separating two chambers: one containing a Group I metal anode in an organic liquid, and the other a liquid cathode with carbon paper. The claims specifically detail the components and arrangement of this cell.

Why it matters: Filed before the major push for sodium-ion battery development. Advances in solid electrolytes and organic liquid electrolytes since 2013 could make this Group I metal cell more viable for energy storage applications.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedSolid electrolyte, organic electrolyte, Group I metal handling.
