Copper-Zinc Battery’s Performance with Different Electrolytes
Abstract
This research evaluates how different electrolytes affect the voltage output of a battery. As one of the few types of devices capable of storing electrical energy, batteries are extremely efficient and reliable. They are widely adopted in a great number of devices, hence they are important to our daily life. How to construct better batteries will always be one of the most crucial challenges of our developments in energy. In this research we tested two different salt solutions, NaCl solution and KOH solution, on a Cu-Zn cell to see which works better.
