Abstract
The electrolyte plays an important role in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its special physicochemical properties of low viscosity, high dielectric constant, and high ionic conductivity. Although LIBs are widely used in all walks of life, energy density and safety are still issues worthy of our attention. In Chapter 2, we review recent developments in liquid electrolytes for LIBs, including non-aqueous and aqueous electrolytes, and their respective advantages and disadvantages are comprehensively discussed, which will contribute to the future design and use of efficient and safe electrolytes.
