The phrase "aqueous electrolyte" refers to a liquid containing dissolved salts or ions that can conduct electricity. It means a watery solution where these dissolved substances can help in the flow of electric current. Full definition
These methods fail, however, for metals where the diffusion of hydrogen is relatively slow, and also in cases where metals strongly react with aqueous electrolyte solutions. (sciencedaily.com)
«Zinc - air batteries are attractive because of the abundance and low cost of zinc metal, as well as the non-flammable nature of aqueous electrolytes, which make the batteries inherently safe to operate,» Dai said. (sciencedaily.com)
Besides energy density, a major reason for the diminishing role of zinc batteries is the poor reversibility of the zinc chemistry in aqueous electrolytes. (sciencedaily.com)
