LiTFSI structure and transport in ethylene carbonate from molecular dynamics simulations
Article Abstract:
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using a many-body polarizable force field are performed on ethylene carbonate (EC) doped with lithium bistrifluoromethanesulfonamide (LiTFSI) salt as a function of temperature and salt concentration. The investigation of the Li(super +) transport mechanism has revealed that contribution from the Li(super +) diffusion together with its coordination shell to the total Li(super +) transport is similar to the contribution arising from Li(super +) exchanging solvent molecules in its first coordination shell with solvents from the outer shells.

Force field development and MD simulations of poly(ethylene oxide)/LiBF4 polymer electrolytes
Article Abstract:
The many body polarizable and two body (TB) force fields for PEO/LiBF4 polymer electrolytes are developed. Analysis of the Li(super +) cation diffusion mechanism revealed that the Li(super +) cations with significant motion along poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) chains have a much higher self diffusion coefficient than the Li(super +) cations that do not undergo a noticeable motion along PEO chains, which suggests that the Li(super +) motion along PEO makes an important contribution to the cation diffusion mechanism.

Molecular dynamics simulation study of LiI-doped diglyme and poly(ethylene oxide) solutions
Article Abstract:
Molecular dynamics simulations of diglyme/LiI solutions are compared with previous simulations of 12-repeat-unit PEO/LiI melts at 363 and 450 K. The number of free ions was found to be smaller and the degree of ion aggregation greater in the diglyme/LiI solutions compared to PEO/LiI.
