Additives for Wettability Improvement

In this section, we present additives for wettability improvement, additives for corrosion inhibition, and lithium salts. 

In 1989, Asahi Kasei Corporation found phosphates containing long-chain aliphatics and aromatics, such as tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (152) and triphenyl phosphite (153) [147], 

In 1995, Adeka Corporation discovered carbonates containing long-chain alkyl carbonates, such as dodecyl methyl carbonate (154) [148], 

In 1999, Ube Industries, Ltd. discovered carbonates containing branched alkyl groups, such as methyl 1-methylpropyl carbonate (155) and methyl sec- vXy carbonate (156) [149]. 

In 2000, Ube Industries, Ltd. discovered tertiary carboxylic add esters, such as methyl 2,2-dimethylpropanoate (157), ethyl 2,2-dimelhylpropanoale (158), butyl 2,2-dimethylpropanoate (159), and hexyl 2,2-dimethylpropanoate (160) [35].

Research on additives involves numerous other additives separate from those mentioned above, for example, additives for wettability improvement [36] and corrosion inhibition [37] as well as new lithium salts which can be used as substitutes for LiPFg and LiBF4 [38], Relevant case studies are also reported.
