Competitive lithium solvation of linear and cyclic carbonates from quantum chemistry

Abstract

The composition of the lithium cation (Li+) solvation shell in mixed linear and cyclic carbonate-based electrolytes has been re-examined using Born–Oppenheimer molecular dynamics and Li+(EC)n(DMC)m cluster calculations.
