High-concentration aqueous electrolytes have shown promise as candidates for a safer, lower-cost battery system. Ionic conductivity is a key property required in high performing electrolytes; the Advanced Electrolyte Model (AEM) has previously shown great accuracy in predicting ionic conductivity in highly-concentrated non-aqueous electrolytes. This work provides extensive experimental data for mixed and highly concentrated aqueous electrolyte systems, rapidly generated via a robotic electrolyte testing apparatus. These data demonstrate exceptional accuracy from AEM in predicting conductivity in aqueous systems, with the accuracy being maintained even in highly-concentrated and mixed-salt regimes.
