Lithium-ion battery technology is viable due to its high energy density and cyclic abilities. Different electrolytes are used in lithium-ion batteries for enhancing their efficiency. These electrolytes have been divided into liquid, solid, and polymer electrolytes and explained on the basis of different solvent-electrolytes.
Different electrolytes (water-in-salt, polymer based, ionic liquid based) improve efficiency of lithium ion batteries. Among all other electrolytes, gel polymer electrolyte has high stability and conductivity. Lithium-ion battery technology is viable due to its high energy density and cyclic abilities.
High energy density and excellent performance make lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) an active candidate in this field of energy storage devices. John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino were awarded the Nobel prize in 2019 in chemistry for their contribution to LIBs.
Since the 2000s, solid electrolytes have been used in emerging lithium batteries with gaseous or liquid cathodes, such as lithium–air batteries 50, 51, lithium–sulfur batteries 52, 53 and lithium–bromine batteries 54, 55. Solid-electrolyte sodium-ion batteries that operate at ambient temperatures have also been demonstrated 56.
Solid-state batteries exhibited considerable efficiency in the presence of composite polymer electrolytes with the advantage of suppressed dendrite growth. In advanced polymer-based solid-state lithium-ion batteries, gel polymer electrolytes have been used, which is a combination of both solid and polymeric electrolytes.
Electrolytes act as a transport medium for the movement of ions between electrodes and are also responsible for the enhanced performance and cell stability of batteries. Cell voltage and capacity represent energy density, while coulombic efficiency and cyclic stability indicate energy efficiency.
