Potassium Hydroxide is used as the electrolyte in various types of batteries, including alkaline, nickel-cadmium, and manganese dioxide-zinc batteries. It is also an electrolyte in certain types of fuel cells. Potassium hydroxide solutions are better conductors of electricity than sodium hydroxide solutions and are therefore preferred over the latter.
