Molecular Dynamics of Lithium Ion Transport in a Model Solid Electrolyte Interphase
Abstract Li+ transport within a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in lithium ion batteries has challenged molecular dynamics (MD) studies due to limited compositional control of that layer. In recent years, experiments and ab initio simulations have identified dilithium ethylene dicarbonate (Li2EDC...
