Electrolyte reservoirs and wicks play a crucial role in maintaining and delivering the electrolyte for an electrochemical system, facilitating the necessary chemical reactions. Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge when dissolved in water or bodily fluids, such as blood. The body’s primary electrolytes consist of bicarbonate, calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphate, potassium, and sodium. To assess any imbalances in these electrolytes, an electrolyte panel test is conducted to measure their levels within the body.

To ensure safety, electrolyte reservoirs and wicks are constructed using PP or PE materials that are known to be safe for use. These materials minimize the risks of inhalation and skin hazards. Moreover, these reservoirs and wicks can be customized to meet specific application requirements. Their fluid retention, density, and flow orientation can be adjusted accordingly. As a result, electrolyte reservoirs and wicks find applications in various fields, including gas absorption, venting, diffusion, and supporting fluids within electronics and sensors.
