The word "alkaline" is correct and usable in written English.

The declining pH does not actually make the waters acidic (they started off mildly alkaline).
Unlike SOFC, alkaline cells work at relatively low temperatures.

But of the five basic ways to design fuel cells, only two work at room (let alone North Atlantic) temperatures and only one, the alkaline fuel cell, is robust enough to do the job.Alkaline cells (so called because they employ potassium hydroxide as an electrolyte) are reliable enough for NASA, America's space agency, to have used them on board the space shuttle.
But until recently they have suffered from a low power-to-weight ratio, unlike the other sort of room-temperature fuel cell, the temperamental and costly proton-exchange-membrane device, which several firms hope soon to use in motor cars.An alkaline cell with sufficient power density may soon, however, be on the way.
