Abstract
In this work we have derived the parameters of an AMOEBA-like polarizable forcefield for electrolytes based on tetramethoxy and tetraethoxy-glyoxal acetals, and propylene carbonate. The resulting forcefield has been validated using both ab-initio data and the experimental properties of the fluids. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have investigated the structural features and the solvation properties of both the neat liquids and of the corresponding 1 M LiTFSI electrolytes at the molecular level. We present a detailed analysis of the Li ion solvation shells, of their structure and highlight the different behavior of the solvents in terms of their molecular structure and coordinating features.
期刊介绍:
ChemistryOpen is a multidisciplinary, gold-road open-access, international forum for the publication of outstanding Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. It is co-owned by 16 continental European Chemical Societies, who have banded together in the alliance called ChemPubSoc Europe for the purpose of publishing high-quality journals in the field of chemistry and its border disciplines. As some of the governments of the countries represented in ChemPubSoc Europe have strongly recommended that the research conducted with their funding is freely accessible for all readers (Open Access), ChemPubSoc Europe was concerned that no journal for which the ethical standards were monitored by a chemical society was available for such papers. ChemistryOpen fills this gap.
