- paws 10y agoI'm not an expert, but the article mentions current LiIon using "liquid electrolytes" a few times.
- patch_collector 10y agoBased on a reading of the article, apparently li-ion batteries do use liquid electrolytes to move the lithium ions around.

- nickff 10y agoNo, solid-state usually refers to a component that undergoes no mechanical or chemical change while in normal operation; conventional batteries undergo redox reactions while charging and discharging.
