Our focus lies in the comprehensive analysis of three distinct categories of fluorinated additives, each differing in their degree of fluorination. The computations reveal that fluorination plays a significant role in determining both the ionic conductivity and the formation of the solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) film. Specifically, heightened fluorination enhances the oxidative stability of the system but diminishes the strength of solvent binding, resulting in the formation of larger salt/anion clusters and a decrease in ionic conductivity. Conversely, increased fluorination facilitates the interaction between fluorinated additives and the lithium metal surface, thereby aiding in the formation of a stable SEI film characterized by an abundance of inorganic LiF components. This is important as it serves to suppress dendrite growth and mitigate interface side reactions. Considering the combined influences of ionic conductivity and film formation, 1FP is suggested as the optimal candidate for pyridine-based additive systems, with FEC preferred for cyclic ester-based additive systems and BC for chain ester-based additive systems.

Our present study has presented findings on the electronic, optical, and thermodynamic characteristics of spinel oxide MnGa₂P₃H₄NO₁₄; using density functional theory (DFT), we utilized first-principles calculations carried out with the Wien 2 k software package. The calculations were performed using the generalized-gradient-approximation plus Hubbard potential U (GGA+U) method for the doped materials. The band structure calculation reveals that the parent compound exhibits a semiconducting nature and a direct band gap of 2.9 and 1.7 eV for spin-up and down channels, respectively. The stability of the material is assessed by evaluating its formation energies, which reveal that spinel oxide exhibits the highest stability. The thermodynamic properties are determined using the quasiharmonic Debye model, implemented in the GIBBS 2 code. Furthermore, the quasiharmonic Debye model examines the pressure and temperature dependence of all parameters related to the investigated spinel oxides. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the radiation shielding, we computed the mass attenuation coefficient for the XCOM program that was investigated from the sample. In addition, linear attenuation, half-value layer, and mean free path values have been evaluated. A thorough investigation into the dielectric function's optical characteristics was conducted. It has been found that the dielectric function exhibits a wide range of energy transparency.

Herein, we explored the possibility of using chlorinate solvents as electrolytes using density functional theory (DFT) and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Taking ether (1,2-dimethoxyethane [DME], 1,3-dioxolane [DOL]), carbonate (dimethyl carbonate [DMC], and ethylene carbonate [EC]) as examples, we first compared the energy variation of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) upon Cl and F substitution. In particular, we found that 1,2-bis(chloromethoxy)ethane (DME-2Cl-2) has the lowest HOMO and the highest LUMO level among the chlorinated DME after coordinating with Li⁺, enabling a potentially wide voltage stability. Further MD simulation reveals that lithium ions in DME-2Cl-2 has a weaker solvation coordination with solvents but stronger interaction with anions than DME and 1,2-bis(Fluoromethoxy)ethane (DME-2F-2), which is more beneficial for forming stable anion-derived solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).
