Commentary Contributed by Saurabh Shelar, Analyst, MarketsandMarkets

June 14, 2018 | Electrolyte is a chemical combination of salts and solvents in fixed ratio (generally 1:4 for lithium-ion battery) to enhance the flow of ions and create a conductive medium. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery electrolytes are classified based on state of electrolyte into solid and liquid electrolyte. Polymer pouch batteries used in laptops and cellphones are considered as liquid electrolytes. Read more about Embracing the Lithium-Ion Battery Euphoria – Innovations in Electrolytes
