Electrolyte for alkaline zinc-manganese batteries

The active materials used are the same as in the Leclanché cell – zinc and manganese dioxide. However the electrolyte is potassium hydroxide, which is very conductive, resulting in low internal impedance for the cell. This time the zinc anode does not form the container; it is in the form of a powder instead, giving a large surface area.
