Abstract

The electrical characterization research of electrochemical cell based seawater by using electroplating Cu-Zn electrode with Ag (Cu (Ag)-Zn) has been done. Measurement data is performed to determine the voltage at no load and with the 12 V 3W LED and lumination load. The measurement results were compared with electrochemical cells using Cu-Zn Electrodes without electroplating. Sea water that has been used has a salinity level of 3.5% which has three times the screening process. Measurement data has been taken every hour for 72 hours by refilling sea water every 24 hours. The average voltage drop for electrodes without electroplating is 0.03%, whereas for electrodes with electroplating is 0.01%. The lumination difference is up to 72 hours which is 4 times brighter than Cu-Zn without electroplating process.
