Most of us use dry cells for electronic devices. When the battery is losing its power, users will continue to just throw it away. Not many people know the methods of disposing batteries properly after the battery runs out of power. Most of us usually tossed the batteries into the dustbin. Crucially, improper disposal of batteries cause plumbum toxic leak which lead pollution to be spread widely. When it’s enters the human body, it becomes toxic in our body and cause adverse health effects. Based on awareness, we want to create a new product towards Green Technology as an alternative called Saltene Cell as a new energy to replace the existing products. Salt cells are capable of replacing dry cells battery by producing and generating high voltage power and lasts longer. In a study that was conducted, the salt cells with a solution of certain concentration were going through the process of electrolysis. In these experiments, salts cell uses two pieces of metal copper and magnesium in the electrolysis process and salt as the electrolyte. The result is electrical current can be generated. The use of the salts cell is very easy because it only requires a certain concentration of salt water connected to two electrodes. By placing the two metal sheets which represents the anode and cathode, then connected to the wires, therefore LED lights will light up. With the creation of this innovative product, we can reduce the pollution caused by improper disposal of dry cells batteries and thus makes Saltene Cell as a source of alternative energy.
