Power at sea: Towards high-performance seawater batteries

Science Daily  January 31, 2022 Despite the many potential applications of seawater batteries (SWBs), the limited performance of available materials has hindered their commercialization. Researchers in South Korea have developed a process called ‘plasma in liquid,’ which involves preparing a mixture of precursors containing carbon, N, and S and discharging plasma into the solution resulting in a material with high doping levels of N and S with a structural backbone of carbon black. Experimentally they have confirmed that the material showed great potential for SWBs. The co-doped anode material exhibited remarkable electrochemical performance in SWBs, with a cycling life of […]
