electrolyte

When electrodes are placed in an electrolyte and a voltage is applied, the electrolyte will conduct electricity.

In batteries, two metals with different electron affinities are used as electrodes; electrons flow from one electrode to the other outside of the battery, while inside the battery the circuit is closed by the electrolyte's ions. Here the electrode reactions convert chemical energy to electrical energy.

Why don't batteries work in space?

Some batteries [dry cells and gell cells, if properly sealed] do work in space. On the other hand, unsealed batteries containing liquid electrolyte [like the battery acid in automobile batteries], when exposed to the zero [or near zero] atmospheric pressure in space, lose the liquid electrolyte by almost immediate evaporation. And without the electrolyte a battery cannot function.
