Electrolyte Liquid

Potassium Hydroxide Solution in Distilled Water suitable for Nickel Cadmium Batteries
Electrolyte Liquid is a medium containing ions that is electrically conducting through the movement of those ions, but not conducting electrons. This includes most soluble salts, acids, and bases dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. Upon dissolving, the substance separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly throughout the solvent. Solid-state electrolytes also exist. In medicine and sometimes in chemistry, the term electrolyte refers to the substance that is dissolved.
 
Electrolyte Liquid for Batteries is a high-purity aqueous alkaline solution based on Potassium Hydroxide (KOH). It is formulated for use in battery systems and related industrial applications requiring controlled alkalinity, consistent density, and reliable ionic conductivity.
 
The product is manufactured using high-purity raw materials and processed water to maintain quality, minimize unwanted impurities, and support stable performance in the intended system. The solution is supplied in liquid form for convenient handling and direct use or further controlled dosing as required by the application.
 
This electrolyte liquid is designed to offer:
  • Consistent concentration
  • High ionic conductivity
  • Low impurity profile
  • Stable alkaline character
  • Reliable performance in battery-related systems
Application
In science, electrolytes are one of the main components of electrochemical cells.
This product is generally used in:
  • Alkaline battery electrolyte systems
  • Industrial battery service applications
  • Electrochemical process applications
  • Controlled alkaline medium preparation
  • Laboratory and technical uses where specified concentration KOH solution is required
 
Note: Final suitability should always be confirmed through customer-side testing under actual operating conditions.

Parameter Specification
Appearance Clear to slightly hazy liquid
Color Colorless to pale yellow
Odor Odorless
pH Strongly alkaline
Potassium Hydroxide Content 20 - 25%
Density at 25°C 1.20 ± 0.05 g/cm³

Note
Electrically, such Electrolyte liquid is neutral. If an electric potential is applied to such a solution, the cations of the solution are drawn to the electrode that has an abundance of electrons, while the anions are drawn to the electrode that has a deficit of electrons. The movement of anions and cations in opposite directions within the solution amounts to a current. Some gases, such as hydrogen chloride (HCl), under conditions of high temperature or low pressure can also function as electrolytes. 
Remarks / Precaution

How to measure performance of Electrolyte Liquid

High Conductivity

The potassium hydroxide content supports efficient ionic movement, helping maintain electrochemical performance in suitable battery systems.

Stable Alkalinity

The solution maintains a strongly alkaline medium necessary for applications requiring high pH conditions.

High Purity

Prepared from high-purity potassium hydroxide to reduce contamination risk and unwanted side reactions caused by impurities.

Controlled Density

Density is maintained within 1.20 ± 0.05 to support batch consistency and predictable performance.

Easy Handling in Liquid Form

 

Supplied as a ready-to-use liquid, reducing dissolution time and handling complexity compared with solid alkali.
