Solvation in 1-ethyl-3-methylmidazolium chloride and in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate near equilibrium is investigated via molecular dynamics computer simulations with diatomic and benzenelike molecules employed as probe…
Na is known to deliver very low energy capacity for sodium intercalation compared to Lithium. In this study, we use quantum mechanics based metadynamics simulations to obtain the free energy landscape for sodium ion intercalation from…
The hydration free energies of ions exhibit an approximately quadratic dependence on the ionic charge, as predicted by the Born model. We analyze this behavior using second-order perturbation theory. This provides effective methods to…
Solvation free energy is an important quantity in Computational Chemistry with a variety of applications, especially in drug discovery and design. The accurate prediction of solvation free energies of small molecules in water is still a…
Single ion solvation free energies are one of the most important properties of electrolyte solutions and yet there is ongoing debate about what these values are. Only the values for neutral ion pairs are known. Here, we use DFT interaction…
Lithium-ion battery performance is strongly influenced by the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, which depends on the speed at which Li ions migrate across the cell and relates to their solvation structure. The choice of solvent can…

The solid-liquid interface free energy \gamma sl is a key parameter controlling nucleation and growth during solidification and other phenomena. There are intrinsic difficulties in obtaining accurate experimental values, and the previous…
We demonstrate that with two small modifications, the popular dielectric continuum model is capable of predicting, with high accuracy, ion solvation thermodynamics in numerous polar solvents, and ion solvation free energies in…
We introduce a simple and efficient model to describe the potential energy surface of lithium diffusing in a solid-state ionic conductor. First, we assume that the Li atoms are fully ionized and we neglect the weak dependence of the…

Lithium based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are excellent candidates for eco-friendly electrolytes in lithium ion batteries. While some of these DES have shown promising results, a clear mechanism of lithium ion transport in DESs is not yet…
The numerous combinations of cations and anions turn out possible to produce ionic liquids with fine-tuned properties once the correlation with the molecular structure is known. In this sense, computer simulations are useful tools to…
Lithium-ion transport is significantly retarded in ionic liquids (ILs). In this work, we performed extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to mimic the kinetics of lithium ions in ILs using [\emph{N}-methyl-\emph{N}-propylpyrrolidium…

We present results of molecular dynamics simulations on lithium metasilicate over a broad range of temperatures for which the silicate network is frozen in but the lithium ions can still be equilibrated. The lithium dynamics is studied via…
We review recent ab initio molecular dynamics studies of electrode/electrolyte interfaces in lithium ion batteries. Our goals are to introduce experimentalists to simulation techniques applicable to models which are arguably most faithful…
Free energies of ionic solvation calculated from computer simulations exhibit a strong system size dependence. We perform a finite-size analysis based on a dielectric-continuum model with periodic boundary conditions. That analysis results…
The ST2 interaction potential has been used in a large number of simulation studies to explore the possibility of a liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) in supercooled water. Using umbrella sampling Monte Carlo simulations of ST2 water, we…
