Electrolyte

The ion-conducting medium between the electrodes. In a liquid-electrolyte cell it fills the pores of both electrodes and the separator, so it is not a separate structural layer.

Pouch cell

A cell sealed in a flexible bag of aluminium laminated with plastic, holding stacked electrode sheets in larger cells or a flattened wound roll in many small ones. It is light and easy to cool, but needs outside support and can visibly swell if gas forms inside.

Semi-solid battery

A cell that uses a gel or a solid electrolyte together with a small amount of liquid to keep the interfaces conducting. It is a stepping stone between liquid and all-solid-state cells, and already ships in some vehicles.

Solid electrolyte

A solid ion conductor that replaces the liquid electrolyte in an all-solid-state cell. Oxide, sulfide, halide and polymer families each need a different production route.
