hi
im currently working on a project that uses zinc as an anode and tungsten as a cathode, the medium is an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide
solution is 10g NaOH to 100ml water (not sure what this equates to in terms of strength)
now my question is, why does this setup create a voltage potential when measured across the 2 metals??
and is there anyway to make it stronger without adjusting the Naoh concentration??
i am currently getting about 0.8v @ 40ma ocross the 2 metals
