Ionic liquids are design materials and therefore, they can be adjusted to specific requirements. Due to this fact an understanding on the atomistic scale is helpful to improve ionic liquids with respect to certain properties. To elucidate microscopic processes molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a powerful tool.
Polarizable force fields for MD simulations are necessary to mimic the electron cloud. Furthermore, they are necessary to produce results which are close to the experiment. In this study, we used an improved version of the APPLE&P force field. The main focus was to investigate different lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI) concentrations in 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide. The results strongly depend on the lithium salt concentration due to a favored coordination of lithium ions by TFSI.
