ADVANTAGE
• Safety
• Easy recyclable
• Long lifecycle
• High cycle efficiency
• Low maintenance
• Temperature tolerance
DISADVANTAGES
• Low energy density
• Lower efficiency
• Corrosion
Conclusion & Future Work
• We are still looking for more sustainable
ways to make the battery produce higher
current by discovering more efficient
electrodes
• Corrosion of the anode surface and
deposition on the cathode surface were
observed.
• We are going to make an experiment in
which, the anode can be zinc, then the
cathode can be a material such as
manganese oxide.
• The saltwater battery would be valuable
in areas where there is not much
electricity available, and it could use the
power generated to charge a smartphone
