Hydroponics gel as a new electrolyte gelling agent for alkaline zinc-air cells

The viability of hydroponics gel as an alkaline electrolyte gelling agent was analyzed. Zinc-air primary cells with a low concentration of aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte and a hydroponics gel as an electrolyte gelling agent were prepared for this purpose. The oxygen reduction process...
