This paper investigates the stabilization of supersaturated zincate electrolytes in a silver-zinc battery by the addition of potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, and molasses. Molasses, in combination with the hydroxide additives, was found to demonstrate a profound stabilizing influence on the zincate supersaturation and the electrolyte. Preliminary data on discharge of a battery using the combined additive indicates that it has higher discharge capacity than do batteries which contain the individual additives. The chemistry of this stabilizing influence is discussed.
