"oxidation-reduction lithium metal in 74 types of electrolytes... ferrocene into all the electrolytes as an IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) recommended internal standard for electrode potentials. The team proved that there is a correlation between the oxidation-reduction potential of lithium metal and the Coulombic efficiency. They obtained the high Coulombic efficiency with the upshifted oxidation-reduction potential of lithium metal"
