Preliminary Experimental Study of Herbal Electrolyte for Future Green Battery

Abstract

Batteries are turned into one of the widely used energy source in our day-to day life which relies on the electrochemical dynamics and interaction among the electrolyte and electrodes. An electrolyte is important component of battery to decide the transfers ions back and forth between two electrodes which results electrical energy generation. However, electrolytes used in the conventional batteries are very hazardous due to release of toxic chemicals in the environment which affects the growth of plants and aquatic life. Therefore, it becomes clear that the chemical electrolyte system could no longer be required in future and design and characterization of alternative electrolyte is very important. The new electrolyte concepts hold the important metrices of any battery, higher safety, lower cost, and better cycle time. In the present paper we have carried out the preliminary investigation of the performance of Herbal electrolyte, which is cheap, non-flammable and insensitive to temperature. The main constituents of the proposed electrolyte are aloe vera gel, garlic cloves and Indian Jadi Buti which makes the electrolyte eco-friendly and non-toxic and does not cause any damage to environment when it disposed of.
