2 . The ion-exchange chromatography system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plurality of lithium salts are at least two selected from the group consisting of LiPO 2 F 2 , LiBF 4 , LiBOB, and LiPF 6 .

3 . The ion-exchange chromatography system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the ion exchange column is an anion exchange column.

4 . The ion-exchange chromatography system according to claim 3 ,
wherein the anion exchange column comprises the quaternary ammonium ligand in a stationary phase.

5 . The ion-exchange chromatography system according to claim 4 ,
wherein the anion exchange column is SHODEX SI-50 4E.

6 . The ion-exchange chromatography system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the mobile phase comprises sodium carbonate (NaCO 3 ) of 3.5 to 4.5 millimolar concentration (mM), sodium hydrogen carbonate concentration (NaHCO 3 ) of 2.5 to 3.5 millimolar (mM), 25 to 30% by weight of acetonitrile, and balance water.

7 . A quantitative analysis method of lithium salts in an electrolyte comprising the steps of:
preparing a standard electrolyte; calibrating the standard electrolyte using the ion-exchange chromatography system according to claim 1 ; and quantifying the standard electrolyte sample using the ion-exchange chromatography system.

8 . The method according to claim 7 ,
