Embracing the Lithium-Ion Battery Euphoria - Innovations in Electrolytes
Commentary Contributed by Saurabh Shelar, Analyst, MarketsandMarkets
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.

Transient Response Analysis: Time and Cost Effective Battery Assessment
Commentary Contributed by Dong Woon Kim, M.Sc., Engineer, McScience, Inc.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), also called Frequency Response Analysis (FRA), is widely used for detailed analysis of battery capability. EIS is a non-invasive technique used to assess secondary battery performance and electrochemical characteristics by measuring resistance and capacitance at various frequencies.
