Science and Technology Daily, Tianjin, May 12 (Reporter Chen Xi, Correspondent Jiao Defang) The reporter learned from Tianjin University on the 12th that the joint team of Yang Quanhong, Ling Guowei and Zhang Chen has successfully developed a new energy conversion material that can "capture" the deep sea.

The deep sea is known as "the most tranquil and mysterious place on earth", where ancient prokaryotes live and rich in natural resources, which are of great significance to the future of mankind.

The joint team of Tianjin University's School of Oceanography and the School of Chemical Engineering proposed a design strategy of "high-efficiency oxygen-philic catalyst for deep-sea oxygen-poor environment seawater batteries".

"In the next step, we will test this new material in the extreme deep-sea environment.
