Lithium ion and lithium polymer battery charging and discharging profile was found to be same. Then what is the major difference between both battery?
Dear Ramesh,
The biggest difference between the two is only used within the type of electrolyte a Li-ion battery is a liquid electrolyte , and Li-ion polymer batteries instead places the solid polymer electrolyte , the polymer may be a solid, may be a semi-solid (gel).

A Li-ion battery is an anorganic battery whereas a lithium polymer battery consists of one organic electrode (the polymer) besides the Li-electrode.
I can recommend this paper of Schubert et al. for deeper information: Chem. Rev.2016, 116, 16, 9438-9484
Dear Ramesh Murthy,
The most significant difference between lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries is the chemical electrolyte between their positive and negative electrodes.
I hope the information will help you.
With Best Wishes,
