    Abstract: We present a hydrodynamic theory describing pair diffusion in systems with periodic boundary conditions, thereby generalizing earlier work on self-diffusion [B. Dünweg and K. Kremer, J. Chem. Phys. 99, 6983-6997 (1993) and I.-C. Yeh and G. Hummer, J. ... ...

    Abstract We present a hydrodynamic theory describing pair diffusion in systems with periodic boundary conditions, thereby generalizing earlier work on self-diffusion [B. Dünweg and K. Kremer, J. Chem. Phys. 99, 6983-6997 (1993) and I.-C. Yeh and G. Hummer, J. Phys. Chem. B 108, 15873-15879 (2004)]. Its predictions are compared with Molecular Dynamics simulations for a liquid carbonate electrolyte and two ionic liquids, for which we characterize the correlated motion between distinct ions. Overall, we observe good agreement between theory and simulation data, highlighting that hydrodynamic interactions universally dictate ion correlations. However, when summing over all ion pairs in the system to obtain the cross-contributions to the total cationic or anionic conductivity, the hydrodynamic interactions between ions with like and unlike charges largely cancel. Consequently, significant conductivity contributions only arise from deviations from a hydrodynamic flow field of an ideal fluid, which is from the local electrolyte structure as well as the relaxation processes in the subdiffusive regime. In the case of ionic liquids, the momentum-conservation constraint additionally is vital, which we study by employing different ionic masses in the simulations. Our formalism will likely also be helpful to estimate finite-size effects of the conductivity or of Maxwell-Stefan diffusivities in simulations.

    Abstract In this study, we delve into the complex electron transfer reactions associated with the redox-active (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO), a common component in organic radical batteries (ORBs). Our approach estimates quantum electron-transfer (ET) energies using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations by sampling from structures simulated classically. This work presents a comparative study of reorganization energies in ET reactions across different solvents. Furthermore, we investigate how changes in the electrolyte environment can modify the reorganization energy and, consequently, impact ET dynamics. We also explore the relationship between classical and quantum vertical energies using linear regression models. Importantly, this comparison between quantum and classical vertical energies underscores the role of quantum effects, like charge delocalization, in offering added stabilization post-redox reactions. These effects are not adequately represented by the classical vertical energy distribution. Our study shows that, although we find a significant correlation between the vertical energies computed by DFT and the classical force field, the regression parameters depend on the solvent, highlighting that classical methods should be benchmarked by DFT before applying them to novel electrolyte materials.

    Abstract Improving the electrochemical properties and cycle life of high-voltage cathodes in lithium-ion batteries requires a deep understanding of the structural properties and failure mechanisms at the cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI). We present a study implementing an advanced Raman spectroscopy technique to specifically address the compositional features of interphase during cell operation. Our operando technique, shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS), provides a reliable platform to investigate the dynamics of the interphase structure and elucidate the compositional changes near the cathode surface. To improve the CEI properties, thiophene was introduced and investigated as an effective, high-voltage film-forming additive by largely diminishing the capacity fading triggered at high potentials in LiNi₁/₃Co₁/₃Mn₁/₃O₂ cathodes. While the cells without thiophene show severe capacity fading, cells with an optimized concentration of thiophene exhibit a significant performance improvement. Operando SHINERS detects the presence of a stable CEI. The results suggest that the composition of the CEI is dominated by polythiophene and copolymerization products of ethylene carbonate with thiophene, which protects the electrolyte components from further decomposition. The formation mechanism of the polymeric film was modeled using quantum chemistry calculations, which shows good agreement with the experimental data.

    Abstract We present the results from an extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulation study of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) doped with various amounts of lithium-bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide (LiTFSI) salt under the influence of external electric field strengths up to 1 V/nm. The motivation stems from recent experimental reports on the nonlinear response of mobilities to the application of an electric field in such electrolyte systems and arising speculations on field-induced alignment of the polymer chains, creating channel-like structures that facilitate ion passage. Hence, we systematically examine the impact of electric field on the lithium coordination environment, polymer structure, as well as ionic transport properties and further present a procedure to quantify the susceptibility of both structural and dynamical observables to the external field. Our investigation reveals indeed a coiled-to-stretched transformation of the PEO strands along with a concurrent nonlinear behavior of the dynamic properties. However, from studying the temporal response of the unperturbed electrolyte system to field application, we are able to exclude a structurally conditioned enhancement of ion transport and surprisingly observe a slowing down. A microscopic understanding is achieved.

    Abstract Polymer electrolytes are intensely investigated for use as solid electrolytes in next-generation lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries. However, little is known about the structural and dynamical properties of polymer electrolytes close to electrode surfaces. Here, a PEO-Li[NTf₂] polymer electrolyte, confined between two oppositely charged graphite-like electrodes, is studied via molecular dynamics simulations. Three different surface charges of σS = 0, ±0.5 and ± 1e nm–² are considered. Upon charging, a very strong and component-specific layering is observed. Only for the highest surface charge, lithium ions get desolvated and come into direct contact with the negative electrode. The layer structure goes along with the emergence of free energy barriers, which lead to a reduction of the lithium-ion dynamics, as quantified by spatially resolved mean-square displacements, corrected for a drift component. Interchain transfers that are known to be very important for long-range lithium-ion transport in polymer electrolytes play no significant role in transitions of lithium ions between different layers.
