How to increase the conductivity of organic solvent

2003

I am working on the electrochemical etching of porous silicon, I use DMSO as solvent, but its conductivity is very low, I must add a certain conducting salt to the solution, so who can suggest me what salt I can use?

Thanks so much.

Hi,

You could try NaOH or KOH salts with Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol or glycerine.
