Energy	A nonmetallic (liquid or solid) conductor that carries current by the movement of ions (instead of electrons) with the liberation of matter at the electrodes of an electrochemical cell. (references)
Health	A substance that dissociates into ions when fused or in solution, and thus becomes capable of conducting electricity; an ionic solute. (references)
Mining	A. A nonmetallic electric conductor (as a solution, liquid, or fused solid) in which current is carried by the movement of ions instead of electrons with the liberation of matter at the electrodes; a liquid ionic conductor b. A substance (as an acid, base, or salt) that, when dissolved in a suitable solvent (as water) or when fused, becomes an ionic conductor c. For ceramic applications, an electrolyte is a substance capable of dissociating partly or completely into ions in water. For clay dispersions, the basic electrolytes promote deflocculation while theacidic electrolytes produce the opposite effect, flocculation. (references)

Specialty Definition: Electrolyte

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The term electrolyte is often used to refer to a fluid which has ions dissolved in it such that it has electrical properties subject to electrolysis.

An electrolyte is a fluid which has been prepared for use in an electrolysis process. The source material is dissolved in an appropriate solvent (or melted) such that constituent ions are available in the solution.

Examples of electrolytes include acids and bases. The stronger the acid or base, the more electrolytic the substance will be. Salts are strong electrolytes.
