Mechanism of Ion Transport in Amorphous Poly(ethylene oxide)/LiTFSI from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanisms of lithium cation (Li+) and bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide anion (TFSI-) transport in poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, Mw = 2380) melts were examined using molecular dynamics simulations over a wide range of salt concentrations and temperatures.

Unified molecular picture of the surfaces of aqueous acid, base, and salt solutions.

TL;DR: A unified and consistent view of the structure of the air/solution interface of aqueous electrolytes containing monovalent inorganic ions is presented, showing that both cations and anions exhibit enhanced concentrations at the surface and, consequently, these acids (unlike bases and salts) reduce the surface tension of water.

Improved simulation of liquid water by molecular dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, a four-charge model for each molecule and a modification of the prior ''BNS'' interaction was proposed to improve the fidelity of the molecular dynamics simulation, leading to a density maximum near 27°C for the liquid in coexistence with its vapor and to molecular distribution functions in better agreement with x-ray scattering experiments.
