Adoption Criterion for New Salts

Lithium salts have not been prepared for many of the anions noted above. For other anions, the corresponding lithium salts have been reported, but only in a single report with or without some limited electrolyte data provided. Such salts are often 

Ultimately, when developing new lithium salts, it is important to ask what advantages are sought over the widely utilized salt LiPFg. This salt has been a cornerstone of Li-ion battery R D for well over two decades. But it is clear that LiPFg has limitations. Properties or features of salts which would make them attractive candidates for commercial battery electrolytes include the following
