That doesn't mean that it is better for the environment. Even if the materials are 100% renewable and 0 emissions that does not mean that the PROCESS to make it is good for the environment. So what my questions are what is the battery made of and what's the process to make it?
Most batteries are made with heavy metals, which poses environmental & humanitarian risks. @IBMResearch has discovered the chemistry for a new battery that is:
built without heavy metals
longer lasting
less expensive

Hi there, great question! The materials for this battery are able to be extracted from seawater, you can learn more about the process here:https://ibm.co/2ZOVOYu

When can I buy one at Walmart?

Great news. I struggle to convince people to recycle their old batteries, maybe this will go a long way to prevent the large-scale mining operations to collect the metals required.

This seems too good to be true. What’s the catch?

"There is no widely agreed criterion-based definition of a heavy metal." It's "..said to be an acceptable term, given its convenience and familiarity, as long as it is accompanied by a strict definition." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metals … What's yr definition? Would it include Cu, Zn, Sn?
