Researchers from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in Korea and Karlsruher Institute of Technology in Germany have developed a novel energy conversion and storage system using seawater as a cathode. Similarly, sodium has recently attracted attention as a replacement for lithium in alkali-metal-air batteries.
