Solid-state phase transition induced by pressure in LiOH.H2O
Article Abstract:
The high-pressure solid-state phase of LiOH.H2O is obtained with a new implementation of the metadynamics (MTD) with in the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) method and the environments of the water molecules and the O[H.sup.-] ions are characterized in the two phases. The effect of the pressure is investigated to provide insight into the high-pressure phase and the strengthening of the H bonds of the system has produced modifications in the water and the hydroxyl ion dipole electronic environment.

Solvent decompositions and physical properties of decomposition compounds in Li-ion battery electrolytes studied by DFT calculations and molecular dynamics simulations
Article Abstract:
The density functional theory calculations are performed for the reduction decompositions of solvents widely used in Li-ion secondary battery electrolytes, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonates, ethyl methyl carbonate, and diethyl carbonate. The difference in the solid--electrolyte interface (SEI) film stability and the behavior of Li-ion battery cycling among the solvents are discussed in terms of the molecular structures.

Characterization of the structural and electronic properties of crystalline lithium silicates
Article Abstract:
The atomic and electronic structure of lithium silicate crystals is studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The results have shown that atomic charges obtained by using population analysis methods based on electron deformation density, rather than total electron density have provided an accurate description of bond ionicity consistent with chemical intuition.
