Though keeping the details close to themselves, IBM Research has
unveiled in a Dec 18th 2019 blog (https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2019/12/heavy-metal-free-battery/)about a new battery technology
with specs matching or bettering lithium ion but made from three
materials, never used in a battery before, extracted from sea water.
IBM Battery Research have teamed with Mercedes-Benz Research and Central Glass, one
of the top battery electrolyte suppliers in the world, and Sidus, a battery
manufacturer.

IEEE Spectrum magazine article that quotes one of the IBM researchers
as saying "To extract source materials for the battery from seawater would
not necessarily be a trivial operation".
