Scientists find a smarter way to make drinking water from seawater and the leftover salt could help supply lithium for future electric car batteries

Scientists developed a solar desalination system that turns seawater into fresh water. This innovative technology solidifies leftover salt into a reusable form. The system also shows potential for recovering valuable minerals like lithium from the waste. This approach offers a sustainable solution for water scarcity and mineral extraction needs. Further research is required to scale up this promising technology for widespread use.
