Fast-charging is considered to be a key factor in the successful expansion and use of electric vehicles. Current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) exhibit high energy density, enabling them to be used in electric vehicles (EVs) over long distances, but they take too long to charge. In addition to modifying the electrode and battery structure, the composition of the electrolyte also affects the fast-charging capability of LIBs. This review provides a comprehensive and in-depth overview of the research progress, basic mechanism, scientific challenges and design strategies of the new fast-charging solution system, focusing on the influences that the compositions of liquid and solid electrolytes have on the fast-charging performance of LIBs. Finally, new insights, promising directions and potential solutions for the electrolytes of fast-charging systems are proposed to stimulate further research on revolutionary next-generation fast-charging LIB chemistry.
