T. Fukushima et al., Studies on solvation of lithium ions in organic electrolyte solutions by electrospray ionization-mass spectroscopy, EL SOLID ST, 4(8), 2001, pp. A127-A128
Solvation of lithium ions in organic electrolyte solutions, ethylene carbon
ate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), and gamma -butyrolactone (GBL) containi
ng LiClO4, for lithium batteries was studied by electrospray ionization-mas
s spectroscopy (ESI-MS). The mass spectrograms showed that a lithium ion so
