Abstract
Ionic conductivities of salts of alkali metal ions, ammonium ion and zinc i on in agarose (4%, w/w) and modified agarose have been determined using a s pecially designed conductivity cell. The ion conductivity values of these s alts in gel media are close to their aqueous conductance. Hydration behavio rs are also similar to their aqueous hydration as reflected in their activa tion energy of transport. Ni-plating in gel electrolytes seems to be promis ing for certain applications.
