  • First Online:
Rechargeable Batteries

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

The electrolyte is an indispensable element of Li-ion batteries. In normal operation, the electrolyte does not participate in electrochemical reactions but rather conducts ions to enable the electrode reactions on the cathode and anode. The electrolyte is typically composed of a lithium salt as the solute for lithium ions and a solvent or mixed solvent as the medium for ionic conduction.
