Patent Granted The cell voltages given in the Electrochemistry section are larger than the potential at which aqueous solutions will electrolyze. Liquid electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries consist of lithium salts, such as LiPF 6, LiBF 4 or LiClO 4 in an organic solvent, such as ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, and diethyl carbonate. A liquid electrolyte acts as a carrier between the positive and negative electrodes when current flows through an external circuit.
