Seawater Batteries

Abstract

A rechargeable seawater battery is a novel cost-efficient and high-density electricity storage system that uses sodium ions and dissolved oxygen from the seawater to convert chemical energy into electricity. In particular, the fact that the active material (Na+) is obtained from a practically unending supply of seawater and that it functions in natural seawater elevates the expectation that this secondary seawater battery will potentially be used in many more applications. However, we must consider that this secondary seawater battery is still in the early stages of its development, and to be used as a commercial battery, it must go through many stages of verification and validation, including but not limited to material research, cell development, and manufacturing process optimization. In this regard, it is noteworthy that recent research on secondary seawater batteries has gone beyond laboratory-level development to commercial-grade production techniques, and that various types of cells and pilot manufacturing processes are being reported. This chapter introduces the background, operation principle, characteristics, research on each component, and the cell development process of secondary seawater batteries. In addition, seawater utilization technologies using electrochemical methods related to seawater batteries are also briefly introduced.
