A lithium-ion battery is composed of cathode, anode, separator and electrolyte. Lithium-ion batteries for smartphones, power tools and EVs uses liquid electrolyte solution. On the other hand, a solid-state battery uses solid electrolyte, not liquid.
Liquid in the scientific sense, it’s more of a paste. Lithium hexafluorophosphate(aka LiFPO) mixed with Dimethyl carbonate or Diethyl carbonate which are just there to float the Lithium between the plates without letting it burst into flame from any humidity that might happen to reach in.

I was unaware that a lithium battery was liquid.
TIL, thank you, kind Lemmer.

If you puncture one with a nail or something, you can see the liquid drip out… /s
It’s pretty tasty too, but quite spicy
If you can look past the fire and toxic fumes
