In 1998, Mitsui Chemicals discovered that PC can be used even with graphite anodes in the presence of 4,4-dimethyl-5-methylene-l,3-dioxoIan-2-one (5) [48], and in 1998 the same company discovered that vinylethylene carbonate (6) [49] can also be used for the same purpose.

While the focus of this section was on the prediction of oxidation potentials, reduction potentials of EC, PC, DMC, VC, and vinylethylene carbonate (VEC) were calculated using quantum chemistry methods and compared with experiments [13-15]. 

The additive research for alloy type anodes is even scarcer because they have an even shorter history than that for the silicon anodes. So far, the additives for these anodes found in the literature are still conventional additives such as FEC, VC, and vinylethylene carbonate (VEC) [8],...
