Abstract:The selection of an appropriate electrolyte is an important consideration in the design of next-generation batteries. Low-cost sodium ion based batteries have assumed the role of attractive alternatives to Lithium ion batteries for dispensing and storage of energy. Here, we perform in silico based molecular dynamics simulation (MD) study on a variety of electrolytes and NaClO4 salt. We perform potential of mean force (PMF) calculations to extract the free energy of solvation for these different electrolyte-sa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
