Electrolytes in Batteries: Definition, Role, Importance, and How They Work
An electrolyte in a battery allows ions to move between the anode and cathode. This movement enables the battery to charge and discharge. The electrolyte may include salts, acids, or polymers that enhance ionic conductivity. In lithium-ion batteries, the electrolyte improves current flow by facilitating the transfer of positively charged ions. The importance of electrolytes … Read more
