Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for detecting electric potential difference in water. A first electrode comprising a first electrode body is configured to be in electrical contact with the water when the device is disposed in the water. A second electrode comprising a second electrode body is configured to be in electrical contact with the water when the device is disposed in the water. An electrical connection exists amongst the first electrode, the second electrode, and a voltage measuring device. At least one of the first electrode body and the second electrode body is formed at least partially of a carbon aerogel material.
