A mechanistic understanding of lithium ion transport in ternary electrolyte systems — •Alina Wettstein1, Diddo Diddens2, and Andreas Heuer1,2 — 1Institut für Physikalische Chemie, Corrensstraße 28-30, 48149 Münster, Germany — 2Helmholtz-Institut Münster (HI MS), Corrensstraße 46, 48149 Münster, Germany
With regard to methodologically enhancing the electrolyte functionality, and hence the ionic conductivity as a crucial indicator, a profound understanding of the correlated ion motion is essential. For binary ionic liquid systems it has been shown that the motional coupling between ions is determined to a large extent by the conservation of momentum, concurring with simple theoretical relations for transference numbers that serve as a guideline for optimizing the electrolyte [1,2]. Inspired by this work, we perform Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to unravel the complex, and rather counterintuitive, interplay of dynamical electrostatic correlations in a ternary ionic liquid - lithium salt mixture, which contribute to the overall conductivity. From systematic analysis of a variety electrolyte compositions we try to identify key parameters that quantify the microscopic transport properties and serve as a constructive optimization concept.
