We report a molecular dynamics study of the effect of electronic polarization on the structure and single-particle dynamics of mixtures of the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide doped with LiTFSI at room temperature. Therefore, we compare the predictions of the polarizable APPLE& P force field[1] with those of the standard non-polarizable OPLS-AA[2]. The structure of the mixtures is only weakly modified by the fluctuations in electron charge of their constituents, but their transport properties are indeed significantly changed. Moreover, the vibrational densities of states of the added cations are perturbatively red-shifted. A general theoretical framework for the calculation of polarization effects on the vibrational densities of states and velocity autocorrelation functions is introduced, which is useful for predicting the effect of the fluctuations of the electronic clouds on the transport coefficients of the system.
