Table 2.
Electrolyte concentrations applied in the different experimental assays and the corresponding approximate additive concentrations (~ due to different molar masses). It has to be noted that these concentrations are strictly limited to the pristine electrolytes, as additive degradation occurs during cycling in different amounts. MN assay: micronucleus assay
