This paper systematically reviews the technological evolution of Lithium-Ion Batteries battery (LIB) electrolytes, from traditional liquid systems to innova-tive solid/gel composite systems, with a focus on advances in high-voltage, wide-temperature-range, and flame-retardant electrolytes. By analyzing the synergistic optimization mechanisms of solvents, lithium salts, and additives, the study elucidates the critical role of electrolytes in determining battery en-ergy density, safety, and environmental adaptability. Integrating recent break-throughs in solid-state electrolytes (e.g., sulfide/oxide electrolytes) and green manufacturing trends, it outlines key challenges and future directions for elec-trolytes in pairing with advanced materials such as high-nickel cathodes and silicon-based anodes, providing theoretical support for next-generation LIB de-sign.
