On the other hand, there are some network products which do not reflect the corresponding chemical system in a real battery. Specifically, both vinylene carbonate (VC) and propylene carbonate (PC) are known to rapidly decompose when included in battery electrolytes. This contradiction indicates that there are reactions or species that are necessary to facilitate the decomposition of VC and PC must be missing from the network. The identification of this gap through the use of CRN analysis and network product prediction provides a tractable path forward to expand the CRN via selective addition of missing molecules that enable redox, decomposition, or recombination of network products with other abundant intermediate or product species.
